I had a few jobs interview recently. Here's what I got out of it:
If you have something you want to promote (or is on your CV in general), be ready to talk about it. I'm very lucky because I can talk about things on the spot very easily. If that's not you, make a list of the few main points that you want to talk about and try to memorize it. If you always get the same questions, it may be a good idea to address them before people even ask them, or to memorize an answer to them too.
I really underestimate the amount of stress that can be felt when you're alone facing 6 people for a job that you want. I don't have a good answer on how to handle it, although I think having my canned answer ready helped. It got better once this started to be a conversation. The good part is that I developed a lot of empathy for people that talk about interview stress.
It's going to be my first "real" job so these are probably obvious, but it might help someone so I'd rather share.
