Wear a clown suit...you know, the one with the rainbow hair and big red nose. Pinch the interviewer on the tushie when you walk in. And talk alot about unrelated topics...mostly describe your sex fantasies to him.
That will get results, I guarantee it.

Wrong idea you got there.
Employers are not interested in someone trying to impress them. Most of them are looking for substance and to see what you have got to offer and whether you can do the job.
First of all, make sure you are qualified for the position. Put together a good resume. It helps to have it professionally done. A good cover letter also helps. Find the name of the person you will be meeting with. Send the resume to them whether by email or snail-mail.
For the interview, show up at least 30 minutes early. Look relaxed and confident. Dress for the position. Research the company. Don't fiddle and fidget during the interview. Make eye contact and be pleasant. MOST IMPORTANT.....NO CELL PHONES. Ask questions about the company. Not how many breaks you can take and whether it is okay to take an hour long lunch and blah blah blah (you will be surprised at how many people ask these questions). If you feel the postition is not for you, let the interviewer know and why you think it is not for you. They may have other positions that may be suitable for you. Always thank them for the interview and thank the receptionist too. The receptionist is the gossip point and she/he can make a difference.
Don't foget to send in a thank you note.

The best preparation is practicing with as many people as possible! Go over a list of commonly asked questions (you can find this online), and work out your answers out loud. It's amazing how different your answers can sound when they're spoken to someone. And you can get feedback from the friends. You don't want to sound rehearsed, of course, but you do want to perfect your delivery.
Go over your resume again, too. Try to tailor your answers so that you expand on what's on the resume, not repeat it.
Research--do your homework on the company. This is often overlooked, but an important part of the interview process. You want to know what they do, how they do it, and how you can contribute.
Ask a question (or questions) of the interviewer. Asking questions further demonstrates your interest and enthusiasm about the company and the position.
Ask about time frame for hiring, when you'll be called, etc. Don't ask about salary and/or benefits. That comes later.
Make sure to send a personal, handwritten thank you.

wear a dark suit and white shirt with a dark tie that matches the suit. shoes that match your belt. make sure clothes are proffessional. Nice neat hair cut. No body odor and be clean shaven. wear proffessional shoes. make certain clothes are ironed and cleaned. practicing having a proffessional attitude and get plenty of sleep the night before. If you are a woman I would suggest a skirt suit and no tie.
