Does anyone have any advice for someone going for their first interview? I've got one on Monday for a job I really want and I'm pretty nervous. I've been reading the person specification and thinking of good examples of how I meet each one, and I've done a couple of practise interviews as well. Basically I'm trying to come across as enthusiastic without seeming desperate. I'm worried they're going to think I'm too young (21), too inexperienced and too overqualified (I have a degree and the job doesn't require one), so I've been trying to think of ways to show that those things don't matter. But yeah, any advice would be much appreciated.

Edit: Also, I wanted some feedback on some of the questions I've prepared for the interview..

- After a few years at this job, would I still be developing new skills and competencies?
- Question about the person specification given that I wasn't told about at my tour.
- I've read the strategic plan for the next 3 years of this service, how would [important part of their plan] impact the job and the way it developed?

I'm not sure about the last one. I feel a bit like I would just be trying to show off the research I've done, but on the other hand I would genuinely like to know the answer.
