Type up a list of common questions asked during interviews and start to think of answers. Practice the answers, but try not to sound scripted. There's several sites that list common questions. Type in "interview questions" in Google to find them. The most important thing to do is have questions ready to ask THEM. If an interviewer asks if you have any questions and you say "no", you're pretty much off their list. Type up some questions if you don't think you can remember any... be sure to ask questions about the job and/or organization, not about the interviewer or non relevant topics. Also do not ask about salary unless you're offered the job. Finally, get a good night's sleep, dress to impress, take out any piercings, and pop a mint and eat it before meeting the interviewer. Good luck!
PS--bring copies of your resume and references also.

Find a great suit or dress clothes to wear and wear clean shoes. Research the company...standards, ect...Many are posted on their websites. Practice what you will say when asked the typical questions...strengths, weaknesses, what you can offer this company, ect... Bring an extra resume in case they've misplaced it and have typed up references ready. Just relax and be yourself. It's normal to be nervous in an interview and the person hiring you should understand. Don't lie about anything, even your hobbies because it can come back to haunt you. And arrive 10 min. early.

Be on time - actually early for the interview.
Be clean and well groomed, hair cut, shave, no cologne, nails trimmed and nice, shoes polished and clean. Conservative trousers, socks, jacket and shirt or just a nice shirt (depending on the type of job).
One page resume with cover letter and your phone numbers. List of your references: business and personal
Be polite, attentive and answer questions honestly.
Good Luck

prepare for the not so comfortable questions, like where will you be in 4 years from now, and what are your weaknesses. most important , why do you wnat to work here.
Always listen and make pause and think strategically to match your resume tone.
