Best of luck Deneb,
I'd say breathe deeply (not in a way they'd notice) - it will help you keep calm.
I'd say that if they ask you a question, you can take a breath, & think about what you're going to say. (Unless it's a really simple question). I don't see anything wrong with a person thinking before they answer.
Dress nicely, as mentioned before.
Eye contact is important & a smile, when appropriate.
Don't fidget (not sure of spelling & don't mean to insult you! I suspect you wouldn't fidget anyhow.)
If you have a question for them, ask it.
hope it goes well Deneb. love, Kath
PS - I think that the feeling of pressure can be lifted somewhat by viewing an interview as a 'practice session' - any interview is practice for any future interviews you have in your life.
