Need pep talk before interview?

So I have alot of experience.. But today.. I am interviewing with OUR Largest competitor. I have a grand plan of what to say, how I dont plan to steal customers, and want to be respectful of the fact that im interviewing with a competitor.. BUT im nervous.. im totally nervous about this interview in general..and could use some encouragement... Just need to be cool.. feel like I just drank 10 cups of coffee.. cant shake the nerves. Help!

You would not be interviewing with them at all if they considered you unworthy in any way. In fact they probably want the skills that you have that made THEIR largest competitor so great. When you go in to the interview remember that they already want you....even if it is just to shoot their competition in the foot. You can have that confidence, knowing that they have probably already decided in your favor. When you go in, smile, shake hands, and say "I hope you'll excuse me in advance. I am feeling a little nervous." Much will be forgiven if you are charming about it.
