    Dressing in a professional way is very important

    Be prepared to answer questions such as, why should we hire you? when answering this question try your best not to be shy..and remembering the person asking the questions prefers it if he or she does not see fear.

    Also be prepared to highlight your greatest accomplishments

    Make sure you know a few things about the company before you going for the interview

    Good luck!

    If you are interviewing for a sales position or some other position, you need to make sure you sell yourself. Smile, be confident, give them a good handshake, and make eye contact.

    Make sure you have plenty of copies of your resume, including one for yourself.

    Be yourself and be honest. If you end up getting the job, but lied to get it or pretended to be someone other than yourself, you won't be happy in the long run.

    Also, remember you are interviewing them, too. Ask questions- make sure you leave the interview with the the information you need to decide if you want to pursue the position. Good Luck!!

    It's all about first impressions here.

    Body language, A good handshake, Eye contact, Voice (sounding nice).

    Try googling some stuff, like how to have a good hand-shake, body language, what to do in an interview etc.

    Also, outfits and smell are important too. Don't forget a followup phone call/thank you 4 your time card.

    be confident. Wear casual clothes. Look the person you're interviewing in the eye. Give a firm handshake. Speak calmly. Smile. Act normal.

    smile, eye contact, easy conversation, professional looking. I went to a job fair and saw the lady interviewing me checking all these off. There were more but i didn't see them.

    everything everybody said is really good....yeah real confidence in yourself is key

    also be Geniune...and ask them a few questions to in order to show that you are involved and concerned.

    and if you are nervous, just imagine that they are naked..that may take the edge off, cant take someone serious while they're naked...idk
