You will feel most relaxed and comfortable if you just allow yourself to enjoy expressing yourself as you would in any situation.
Just one more hint: Mirror your interviewer’s rate and style of speech. If you match your rate of speech to the speed of the interviewer’s speech, your interviewer will unconsciously feel more of a rapport with you. Most of the time you will not need to do this, but if you get a real fast talker or a real slow drawler, that person will tend to feel more comfortable with you if you are closer to his or her rate of speech. Practice this with a friend or with someone you meet, and see how this matching technique will help you to feel more at ease.

I know that the best strategy for answering straightforward questions is to tell stories with specifics and to use Q statements to highlight my skills, personal traits, competencies, and accomplishments. I’ve done some research on the company so I know which of my attributes to emphasize during the interview. I can answer the question, “What do you know about our company?”
