start out clean cut (looking decent)
Be 5 min early, and wait patiently!
try to relax (not that is not gonna happen but keep trying)
show respect to the interviewer (he/she holds your future and they know it)
answer questions with intelligences (not how they are asked here)

Ok, relax.
1) study up on the company. I remember in college one girl had a face interview and then asked, "So what do you make here?" wrong question. You don't have to know everything, but look at basics, top awards or achievements.
2) Dress for success. Rather than quoting it, just go here: http://jobsearch.about.com/od/interviewsnetworking/a/dressforsuccess.htm
3)You may be interviewing with different departemnts during the day. Or a group panel. Here is an explanation of the different types: http://humanresources.about.com/cs/selectionstaffing/a/interviews_2.htm
4) MOST OF ALL, Know yourself. Even if you forget how many widgets they make or who their compeiters are. You know more about yourslef than anyone else. Be prepared to explain you past accomplishments and how they would help to fit the job you desire at the company.
Don't be quiet when it is your turn to shine. And never say "Yea, I am taking this until my spouse gets out of school - then he/she wants us to move to xxxx." Your would be out at the door.
They want someone who has long range goals with the compnay, who has a fast learning curve and wants to move up in the company to help them.
Go here for typical interview Q&A's

Research the company
Where a shirt and tie or suit dependent on the job (or skirt)
Have answers for the common questions thought out a head of time (e.g. what are your weaknesses)
have a copy of your resume with you
Be early (15 minutes) not too early
Smile
Be friendly
Tell them this is the type of company you want to work for and have an answer as to why.
Have a nice subtle scent on
Ask them questions -this makes them think you are really interested and not just there looking for a job.
Employers have a lot of people that interview. They want something special show them you have it.

Dress professionally but make sure you're comfortable too, you dont want to be fidgeting! Be friendly and polite, and make sure you really show an interest in your interviewer, the position, and the company. Be confident but not overly so, and take some time beforehand to think about how your work experiance will relate to the new position. Best of luck to you!!

this first thing u need is a firm handshake. they like to know if you assertive. be professional, dont use slang. think about what qualifies u to work at this job, what makes u better than all the other people who applied. here r some common questions:
what r ur best qualities?
what is you worst quality?
what do u like to do in r spare time?
etc
think about whan u woud like to work, your employer may ask u that. but remember BE FLEXABLE. they wont hire u if u have strict schedual. u should just tell them when u wont be able to work:
"i can work anytime other than friday and saturday becuase i have to babysit those days"
and always SMILE :)
good luck

Don't call the interviewer "Sukka"
on the outside chance you are telling the truth. Look through the eyes of the person conducting the interview. What does s/he want? Are you willing to do that? Let them know you are what they are looking for. Simple but rarely done.
May GOD richly bless you.

Just be yourself and truth full and dress smart but not over the top. But, most of all RELAX and remember, the interviewer will be nervous as well!! Good LUCK.

Dress nicely, be on time, and answer any questions the interviewer asks you honestly. Be calm and don't fidget.
Shake hands and remember to say "thank you" at the end.
Good luck!
