First Job Interview
(I kinda just need to get this ramble off my chest)
As the title says this is my first job interview, and as expected I'm nervous as *** D:
I'm 18y/o so I'm a little late to getting all this experience and that's kinda tying me down (I self sabotage) but better late than never, and this is just the start of it all, I'll be doing more job interviews with years to come, this is just my stepping stone

Good luck ..... almost everyone is nervous even after many interviews .... try to relax and look at it as growth regardless if they chose you or not
Pumping myself up, thank you for the advice!!

It's normal to be nervous. A couple tips to consider with interviews.
Many times, employers ask about your strengths and weaknesses. What will you bring to the company if hired, etc.
If it is a company you don't know much about, learn about the company in the event they ask you what you know about their products or their company. Typically, knowing briefly why it was founded or by who, if they have a special purpose or cater to a specific group of people (such as pet owners, business owners, etc.).
In general, try to relax and be calm. Be honest that you are new to the workforce. Don't be afraid to highlight if you are a quick learner if you are shown how to do things, or if you excel at some form of a specific form of training (for example, hands on vs reading).
It is good to thank potential employers for the opportunity to interview with them and the time they have taken with you.
Then after the interview, make some notes about the kinds of questions they asked that you struggled with and jot down some notes on how you could improve on your responses if asked those questions in the future.
