[Scarim Coral]

First thing first, type up job interview online as it should show you several example of the most common questions used in the interview. That way you can prepared yourself and be ready for those sort of question.
Also be calm and relaxed, don't put all your hoped into that interview so at least expect the worse outcome (it's not the end of the world if you didn't get the job!).

 

[Dirty Hipsters]

Be prepared to talk about yourself, A LOT. It's very hard for some people to do that, but you need to be able to sound impressive, and make yourself look confident if you want to stand out. Also, make sure you actually know something about the company you're interviewing with, ask them questions (and not just "how much will I earn") and generally look like you really want this job, and are applying because you really want to be there, not just because it's a paycheck (though it very well may be the reason you're applying).

 

[Esotera]

The interviewer might try and ask a question that you don't know the answer to, so that they can judge how you react when you don't know something in a stressful situation. I always ask a bit more about the question and if that doesn't make things clear say that I don't know the answer off the top of my head but would be able to look some form of reference up later.

It's worth researching the company as well - how many people are there, what they do, what the job involves, and whether there's anything the interviewer is in charge of that you can flatter them about.

 

[Vegosiux]

Whatever you do, don't make the handshake too strong or too weak (and especially not with a "dead fish hand").

Be prepared to talk about yourself, A LOT. It's very hard for some people to do that, but you need to be able to sound impressive, and make yourself look confident if you want to stand out.

Hmmm, I wouldn't advise to talk about yourself more than you're asked, though. One thing I WOULD advise though is to find a way to answer "And what do you think is your weakness?" (trust me, that question always comes up more or less) so that it sounds good actually (e.g. "I can be too much of a perfectionist sometimes" - still implies you're devoted to not just doing your job, but doing it well)

Flirt it doesn't matter who it is,get their love juices flowing,give them eye contact,rub your leg on their,lick your lips and talk about how good you are in bed.
And if that doesn't work simply kill them,cut of their skin and wear it as a costume thus replacing them and taking over their job just be sure to also kill any witnesses .

I can do confident but not the whole skining and taking there place thing

 

[tippy2k2]

...I suppose you want a "real" answer and not Tippy2K2's smart ass lipping off

1. Look the interviewer in the eye. This is very important as it exudes confidence and let's them know that you are taking this seriously

2. Be confident. See #1. Confidence is almost as important as being qualified for the job. There is going to be competition for your job and you walking and talking like the job is yours is step #1 for it to actually become yours.

3. Have a question for them at the end (and not a "How much does this pay" kind of thing). Have a question that demonstrates that you are interested in this job and the company. You should always have a question for them for I have never seen an interview where they don't expect one.

4. Scarim Coral already said it but it's important enough to say again: Research common questions. Most interviewers will cover the few base-line questions of "Why do you want to work here", "Name a strength of yours", "Where do you see yourself in X years" (Don't say doin his wife...) and "Name a weakness of yours".

5. Think of examples in your own life of handling a tricky situation because that question is almost guaranteed to come up.

I hope some of this helps. Now I'm off to my job!

Only advice you'll ever need! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URtQAa3Y-ns
Humor aside, it's great advice. Make sure you ask them lots of questions too. "Where do YOU see this company in 5 years?" "What do YOU see a new employee bringing to YOUR company?"

Ask about the people interviewing you and how they manage to progress to where they are. People love talking about themselves.

 

[Launcelot111]

Study up on the company beforehand. Know all the facets of its business, any organizations, efforts, or volunteer things it participates in or sponsors, and any recent big news about the company.

Have a list of questions at the ready (maybe not written down) for when they ask you if you have questions. You don't want to monopolize their time by asking too many, but a few smart ones will impress them. This is where knowing all about their business can come in handy. Also asking about them (how long have you been here? what direction do you see the company going in?) is generally a safe bet.

Have a few general excerpts of your past successes at the ready, and be able to tailor those excerpts to the interviewer's questions. They don't want you sitting there going "umm" and thinking of an example.

If you get the interviewer's email, send a thank you after the interview just reiterating how you are excited about the opportunity and why you would be a good fit. They may not respond, but some interviewers nonetheless consider it an essential formality.

The best thing to do is study up on the most common interview questions. A little confidence and preparedness goes a long way.
