Once you have prepared your portfolio, you have a couple of hours to do the following on your interview checklist:

• Take out the clothes you plan to wear to the interview. Make sure they are clean and pressed. Shoes should be polished. Select the accessories you want to wear. Lay your outfit out ready for the next day.

• Go through your prepared answers to common job interview questions such as What are your strengths?, Why are you the right candidate for this job?, Tell me about yourself?.

If you are going to be asked behavioral questions, consider your possible responses. The objective now is not to memorize your answers but to review them and be familiar and confident with them.

• Try to practice your responses out loud. Ask a friend or family member to do a mock interview with you. Ask for feedback on other elements such as your body language, communication skills and clarity of your answers.

• Make sure you have something nutritious to eat for breakfast the next day, you don't want your stomach rumbling or to feel hungry during your interview.

• Get a good night's sleep knowing you are fully prepared to ace the interview!
