The interview was stressful for me.

I was stressed at first. Then my stress level went down.

MY ADVICE: The more interviews you do, the more relaxed you feel. If you are very nervous about job interviews, don’t avoid them. Do as many job interviews as you can. They are good practice.

It’s just an interview. It’s not the end of the world.

Practice is the key.
