The word “interview” itself makes a person tense and nervous who needs to appear in the interview. It is normal human behaviour to become confused or get tensed but such things can be overcome with practice, learning from seniors and elders, thru own experience. At my time internet was not available. These days Internet is a rich source of information. U can learn many things about the interview by visiting the websites the links of which are given below. On some websites u will find questions also along with answers which are frequently asked and questions pertaining to ur requirement can also be found there provided u surf on them thoroughly and consciously. It will improve ur performance remarkably. If will infuse a high level of confidence in u. It will make u more frank and it will develop diplomatic qualities in u too. Overall, I would say that it will give an impetus to ur personality development.

DO be prepared - do your research and go in armed with knowlege of the company.
DO ask questions; better to ask questions about the position if you can; but definitely about the company. Ask why the position is open, and if you can get an answer - why the previous person did not work out. It will make you appear interested in how you will fit into the role.
DO dress professionally. You really do only get one chance to make a good impression.
DO take a resume. Even if they do not ask for it - give each interviewer a copy befor you leave them. Nothing makes a better overall impression than a well written resume.
DO let the interviewer know if you are a little nervous... it helps us adjust our style to make you more comfortable and your admission will, strangely enough, make you LESS nervous.
DO take a pad an pen and make notes during the interview. Refer back to them to ask questions.
DO listen and make eye contact with the interviewer.
DO NOT ask about salary and benefits - unless the interviewer volunteers the information. It's okay to ask questions if they do.
DO NOT be late, or more than 15 minutes early, for an interview.
DO NOT chew gum.
DO NOT interrupt the interviewer. Make notes instead and ask later.
DO NOT slouch in your chair. Lean forward and look attentive.
DO NOT make jokes during the interview.
DO NOT drive a dirty, cluttered car to the interview. Oddly enough, the state of your car and the state of your mind are pretty much the same. If we walk you to your car and it's a mess it's an almost instant turn off.
