When introduce to the interviewer shake hands and wait to be ask to be seated.
Greet the interviewer by name.
Dont answer questions with just yes and no answers.
When answering talk 30 to 40 seconds.
Do not crticize former employers.
Stick to the point. Talk about things that is relate to the job.
Sit up straight, have hands in lap and look the interview in the eye when answering and asking questions.
Listen. Ask intelligent and pertinet questions.
Do a mock interview with someone.
After the interview thank the interview and shake hands again.
Send a thank you letter as soon as the interview is over, by mail.

Being successful when interviewed can be difficult! Just a couple of thoughts for you, on interviewing and job hunting in general. Some you may know already, but it's still good to review yourself and your resume.
Review your resume, and have family or friends critique it for you. Make changes as needed, your resume will make an impression, and set the tone for an interview. If you're not comfortable with writing your resume, there are services on the web to help you with that, and I'm sure that if you look in your phonebook, you will find services in your area to help with that.
Be sure that you are qualified for the job you are interviewing.
When asked about yourself, or your qualifications, be positive and do not use phrases like " I think I would be good at X"
Dress for success. Dressing appropriately for an interview and presenting yourself well are always important.
Be on time.
Smile and be personable!
You do not mention education, just your experience. People will hire you on experience if you are qualified and they can verify what you state on your resume through your personal references.
Hope this helps, and happy job hunting!

Dress professionally. Do not wear red or dangling earrings. No strong perfume. Don't smile too much because it will appear fake. Try to appear as attentive, open and genuine as possible. Your posture plays a great role in this as well. Don't slump. Lean forward slightly with your arms in your lap or on the armrest, but NEVER crossed. This makes you appear to be open and trustworthy. Be extremely attentive and maintain constant eye contact. Try not to fidget and use 'uh' or 'like' in your responses. Be honest. When asked about your weaknesses, take the opportunity to mention your strengths.
Bring a copy of your resume even if one has been sent to the interviewer in case it is not accessible and maybe a note pad to take notes.
Most importantly: BE EARLY!. That is sooo important.

Know a good (clean) joke.
Make sure you have read a recent non-fiction book.
