Just show them what and who you are, be yourself. It's important to show them who you are, because its much more fun working in an atmosphere where you know you are accepted for who and what you are. answer their questions thoroughly and honestly, if you don't know the answer to a question, just say you cant answer the question, but you'll look in to it. Good luck. Sometimes you'll be more appreciated by your honesty then the fact that you don't know the answer to the question at the time? It's my opinion. I don't say that it is always working out that way.

First of all, I would get one of the dress for success books. I found out the hard way that clothing can ruin your chances of being hired. Make sure that you have an 'honest' resume with you.\nWhile you are speaking to the interviewer, resist any temptation to interrupt or get too loud. Know it all types usually end up being crossed off of the hire list. If you don't know the answer, be honest. Show a willingness to listen and learn. Good attitudes and politeness are more likely to get the job for you.\nI obtained my information from several people that I work with that are in a hiring capacity.

first you must dress the part.  Wear a dark colored suit, with a white shirt underneath.  Do not wear too much cologne or perfume, it is best to not wear any at all because it may bother the interviewer.  Wear pantyhose if you are a girl and wear conservative polished shoes.  Make sure that you give the interviewer a firm handshake and look them in the eyes. It is helpful to do a mock interview prior to the actual interview with some friends so you can get out the nervous jitters before "game day."  You bring your resume, references, etc. with you to the interview in a black portfolio just in case the interviewer wants them.  At the conclusion of the interview you need to ask for the interviewer's business card and ask how long will it be until a desicion is made.  After the interview, you need to send a thank you card no later than 48 hours after the interview thanking the person for interviewing you. There are several templates on how to do this on the internet. just type "following up after an interview" in a search engine like google or yahoo.\n\nMake sure that you do research on the company that is interviwing you and on the interviewer if you can. It always looks good if you can say " I have heard that your company is implementing x program.  How does that program work exactly?"  Or something like that in order to show the interviewer that you did your homework and know about the company.

Dress appropriately for the job you are applying for - if it's in an office, wear something professional; if it is a fast-food restaurant, wear a nice skirt or nice khakis and a sweater.\n\nDon't wear a lot of jewelry.\n\nDon't wear perfume/cologne - it will probably offend the interviewer (he may not like perfumes, may have scent sensitivity, or may not like the scent you've chosen).\n\nWear a watch - a sign that you care about punctuality.\n\nBe pleasant and conversational, but still be yourself.  Ask the interviewer specific questions about the job - but, on the first interview, don't ask about salary, benefits, vacation time, smoke breaks, etc.\n\nGood luck!

a good way to increase your odds is to post your resume on monster dot com, or one of the other resumee posting agencies. Then employers looking for something specific can go hunting for it.\nThe very best way is still knocking on doors. But take a relaxed approach. Don't think theres anything magic you can say or do. There isn't and that's impossible pressure you put on yourself. If the interviewer has a job for you, that you are qualified for, he'll give it to you. If he doesnt he won't. Be sure to check back, and always come in the AM's. Guys who come in the afternoon dont get half as many jobs.\nBest of luck.

Don't go into it thinking you have to be a car salesman.  Simply put, be confident, tell the interviewer why you would be an asset to the company and whenever possible turn on the charm, make small talk.  Smile a lot and radiate the positive vibes.  The most important thing, which does sound somewhat cliche but is so true, just be yourself.

Take a deep breath....\nNow, Go into the interview with the idea that you'll get the job or not. Whatever. It's just a job. Be polite but not needy and desperate.\nIf you keep in mind that it's just a job and not that life changing an event you wont come off as so nervous and you'll seem more relaxed.\nAlso, tell the person interviewing you that you're a little nervous. that way there is an explanation for any mistakes you make.\nGood luck.

depends on the job that you are going for, go in to the interview in a professional manor with a commanding air about you, a firm hand shake makes an immediate strong impression, a limp pussy hand shake and you've immediately lost. if the interviewer comes across with a bit of a laugh and a joke, don't be afraid to respond, however, in my experience of both being an interviewer and interviewee, these pleasantries usually come at the end.\n\nanother thing... make sure you have plenty of questions to ask them, make yourself at least appear interested in the company that you are looking to work for, promotion prospects, pension schemes etc.\n\nbest of luck

You can start by proofreading your resume'.  Following that, wear something conservative, yet somewhat stylish (especially if it is a retail assistant management position).  You should always maintain calm and confidence in anything you say or do.  Nothing impresses an interviewer more than calm confidence.

Be early upon arrival. Do some extensive research on the position that you are going to interview for. Be prepared to ask a few questions about what will be expected from you. Ask questions concerning training and continuation of education. Never say anything negative about a past employer or job experience. Also be prepared to answer situation based questions. For example: When have you received bad service and what did you do? These questions have replaced the questions of yesterday,because not only do they give insight into your personality,but also display your judgment and cognitive ability. Some of these questions have nothing to do with the job, or the position yet they are universal in determining a good employee. The night before buff up on simple algebra and grammar, and maybe take an on line typing speed test. Reason being is that if the interview goes well, often employers will ask you to take a skills test or an assessment right away. Finally, have a fresh copy of your resume or c.v. on nice paper, list of references, and past salary(always lie about this ,so you get more money) . G'luck
