Somebody was asking almost the same question in this sub before, so I've copied my answer about my experience here. Rehearse your words and behaviour in advance, this is the first and foremost. Also you may take an anxiety drug (e.g. valerian root tincture). Helped me a lot. Upd: do not answer in an instant, think over your words - you'll look serious and about getting the job plus win some time to calmly inhale and give an answer while exhaling. My very first interview was a year after graduation, via phone. I did it not bad and was hired as an executive assistant and interpreter. There I was obliged to communicate with various people face to face and through phone - this facilitated into decreasing of my stutter and shyness. For the next position I was interviewed via phone as well, did good and was employed as interpreter/translator. Back then there was a period when I consumed liquor quite a lot and lost my job as a result. Finally, the third interview consisted of two stages: written and verbal - both were alright, though I was not preparing for the second stage and there were doubts in my candidacy (I've stuttered several times but explained that I am really excited). I was hired and now employed as interpreter/technical translator/PA announcer :) Now I do breathing exercises, sleep at least 8 hours, quit drinking and plan to start working out to increase my self-esteem more and avoid falling apart by 40 :D I wish you all the best, you'll definitely find a job and succeed in everything!
