DO
Do dress the part for the job, the company, the industry.
Do plan to arrive about 10 minutes early. Late arrival for a job interview is never excusable. If you are running late, do phone the company.
Do greet the receptionist or assistant with courtesy and respect. This is where you make your first impression.
do fill job application out neatly, completely, and accurately.
make a good eye contact
DON'T
chew gum
makes joke
Don't act as though you would take any job or are desperate for employment.
Don't answer cell phone calls during the interview, and do turn off (or set to silent ring) your cell phone and/or pager.
don't look at the time!

Start by not having anything with too much sugar or caffeine in it until the. If your already nervous that will just make it worse.
Over dress. Put on the most classy businessy close you have make sure you look your best.
When the interviewer asks you a question Try to be as direct as you can. Most interviews ask similar questions, what do you think your strengths are, what are your weaknesses, why do you want to work here, what was your previous job like.
Have an idea of what your going to say. look up common interview questions and prepare your own answers in your head.
Don't talk too much, or talk about things that are too off topic. If you do happen to drift into something off topic try to relate it to the job. - like if they ask you your interests and find you have similar movie tastes, talk about how much you liked the clothing in a particular movie.
Most importantly be honest and polite.

Well for starters... dress nice! No tank tops, shorts, tennis shoes or flip flops... and since the interview is with Old Navy... I would try to wear Old Navy clothes if possible! Also, don't wear any heavy perfume or cologne.
Bring a copy of your resume with you (even if you already sent them one). Act nice, and professional. Then after the interview go home and immediately thank them for taking the time to meet with you and tell them how interested inthe job you are.
Those are just a few tid bits that have helped me over the years!
GOOD LUCK!

1. Have a look at what the regular employees wear and make yourself just a bit smarter than them. Not too much, but a bit.
2. Ask questions and show you are interested in the job and the company. A good interviewer wants to employ someone who will be good for the company and bring something to help the company. So make sure you show you are thinking about what value you can add to the company.
3. If you get scared, just imagine the interviewer wearing a dumb hat or naked or with a banana in his or her ear - anything to make them funny instead of being scary.
4. Smile and be yourself - relax and enjoy it as much as you can. If you are relaxed, the interviewer will see you in a better way.
5. If you don't get the job, make a point of calling the interviewer and ask why they didn't employ you It will help next time round if you know what you are doing wrong.
If you do get it, WELL DONE! Good luck with it.

Be polite, look professional, speak clearly and with confidence. Look your interviewer in the eye and be sure to maintain good posture.
Don't go in looking like a slob or acting apathetic.

MOST IMPORTANT:
Wear descent clothes, a suit won't cut it because Old Navy is a casual 'young,hip' place. Be on time, not late. If you can't arrive on time for your interview, why would they pay you a salary if you can't be punctual? Also, when talking or listening, have EYE CONTACT. Nod your head in approval, that shows them you are paying attention.
_______________________________________________
Take a shower, wear deoderant, groom your hair, brush your teeth, keep your hands in your lap, don't tell any dirty jokes. Act like you know what you're doing, and don't act nervous. Basically follow proper etiquite, and watch what you say.
Best of luck, you will get that job, and proudly wear your name-tag on your shirt or around your neck. Go get 'em tiger. Rawr.

If you know what the dress code is for the place wear something similar to show you will be presentable as an employee. Do not bring up weekend habits or personal stories that may discredit you.
If you have myspace, do not have a pot leaf or something crazy on it because more and more employers are looking into sites like that to help them gage who they are hiring.
