Preparing for my first interview in 12 months (Madison)

It has been 12 months since my last interview and I feel rusty. I have practised answers but they sound stiff. What calms you down?

I record myself on my phone and listen back. The second try is always better than the first.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
