Some General Job Interview Tips
Do not smoke, chew gum, or eat garlic beforehand.
Wear suitable interview clothes.
Take copies of your CV with you.
Arrive on time for your job interview.
Any applications handed before the interview begins, are to be filled in as accurately as possible, make sure they match the information in your Cv and Cover Letter.
Always greet the interviewer by his/her last name and try to pronounce it correctly.
Have a good firm handshake.
Look alert and interested. Scan the room once and then keep your eyes on the interviewer.
Wait until you are offered a chair before you sit down.
Stress your achievements.
Always conduct yourself professionally and if something beyond your control occurs, show a sense of humor.
Be enthusiastic and show it in your replies and body language.
Answer the interview question by more than a simple yes or no but try not to go over the 60 second limit.
Avoid at all cost complaining about your current or former employer in your job interview.
Do not answer questions about politics or religion if the job is completely unrelated.
Do not raise salary discussions on your first interview - this is usually done on the second interview. Make sure you do your wage research before hand.
Your answer to the initial opening statements in the job interview are important, these are called "ice breakers".
Some times the interviewer will ask whether you had difficulty finding the company premises. Your answer should be brief and polite. The interviewer is merely being polite - if you had problems in finding the premises he/she doesn't need to know that.
Use replies such as
I'm fine thank you, and you?
I'm very well, thank you.
These replies express a careless attitude
So, so
OK
Not so well

Research the company.
Plan your journey there so you don't get there late.
Look smart.
Be friendly and cheerful.
They won't mind if you're nervous. Most people will be. Just don't let it cripple you.
They will ask you why you think you're suited to the job.
Show interest by asking questions during and at the end of the interview.
Arrive early to give yourself time to relax before the interview starts.
Give them as much information about yourself as you can, even if its slightly bad. They would rather employ the devil they know then the devil they don't.
Be friendly to the other applicants as well.
It will be impossible to predict the format of the interview and exactly which questions you'll be asked. You just have to be aware of your own skills and personality.

Dress professionally / smart casual (not too revealing if you are a girl and dont wear heavy cologne, takkies, a normal t shirt etc if you are a guy).
Arrive on time. Be knowlegabe about the job position and the company. Be up to date with Current events. Be friendly yet alert. Dont talk unnecessarily and make eye contact with the interviewer. Good luck!

Just be yourself. If you try to be too clever or too arrogant they will see right through you. Don't however sell yourself short. Tell them exactly why you think you will be good at the job and what you will bring to their company.
Make sure you answer the question they ask you clearly and concisely as you don't want to waffle on!
Try not to get too worried about it. At the end of the day, if you're not the person they're looking for then keep trying for other jobs.
Good Luck!! Hope you get it and hope this has helped a little! xxx

When you 'enter', take a close 'view' around. Be confident. Never be nervous(outward...never). Be attentive. Interact with co candidates, politely. Believe in ' I will definitely get' attitude.

Make sure you balance the I's with We's. Employers want to see that you have certain set of skills but also that you are team player.
