Head up, keep smiling and tell them what your good at, not what you can't do. Good luck you'll be fine  :fc:

Be positive, try and stay calm - easier said than done sometimes - like earlier posts talk about what you're good about and listen and listen more so you answer as best you can - I'll keep  :fc:  for you

Engage with them, try and turn the interview into a conversation not just a question and answer session, you'll feel more relaxed and come across better, easier said than done I know

Anyway good luck, you probably don't need it, if you've got an interview, they're already interested in you

Hope its gone OK - keeping  :fc: for you! I'm probably too late now, you are likely already there! But I agree with everything already said...be yourself, you are being interviewed for a job with goats, they'll be wanting to hear about your experience and it sounds like you have plenty  :)

He's probably got to consult the goats first before he offers you anything
