CONQUERING  NERVES
The nervousness people feel before making a presentation or attending an interview is very natural.Their minds prepare them for action via their nervous system, so nervousness is due in part to glands pumping the hormone adrenaline into their blood. Use body language to appear more confident than you feel by making a conscious effort to smile and to relax your arms.Look people in the eye while you are talking or listening to them, keep your posture comfortably straight, and do not fiddle with your hands.

There is a clear distintion between hearing and listening. Make yourself aware of any negative body language you may use when you are not fully concentrating. Once you are aware you can consciously avoid lapsing into bad habits in an interview.
