dress to impress..first impressions are a must..You can never go wrong w/ black slacks and a dress top..Always smile and be attentive..Say yes ma'm/sir..Be happy and be yourself..They will hire someone who looks comfortable and happy verses someone who looks to be a little less so. Don't be nervous, always remember they were in your shoes once before :D

First, dress professionally, even if it's a job for a place like McDonald's. Second, bring your resume. You might not necessarily need it, but if the employer asks for it or if there is a certain time you can slip it in, you'll be glad you brought it. I've also brought a pen and pad of paper with me just in case I have to take notes or write down important information. I would also advise you to be honest. Another thing is make eye contact with the employer constantly, it'll show you're interested and that you're paying attention. Last thing I got is shake their hand firmly when you first walk in and when you leave and thank them for their time. That's all I've got. Good luck!

Be there about 5-10 minutes early. You never get a 2nd chance to make a 1st impression; therefore, dress professional. Black, or Navy blue suit always works. Bring a well prepared resume. Never say anything negative, give a warm smile, be alert and provide good eye contact.

Be sure to sit up right (don't slouch), you may even want to sit forward a little bit. IF you make jokes when you are nervous, be aware of such things, they probably won't be helpful. If you are sitting in a chair that swivels or rocks, sit still.

Take a deep breath before you go in. Be yourself, be confident, you have something to offer. Ask them questions too? Good luck.

Buy a good suit. Be confident, do some research on position and employer. BE CONFIDENT,...and before you interview,..go buy a book at Barnes and Noble on interview questions. Be prepared.
And Good Luck!

Go to the internet and type in "sample interview questions with answers" and practice, practice, practice with a friend or alone.

-Speak clearly. No mumbling.
