I don't know anything about the specific position but I can offer you some general suggestions and tips for any interview.

There are always general questions that will be asked, have the answer ready, and it's okay to have them written down in a portfolio when you interview.

- What are your strengths/weaknesses: Always try to use something positive that is a weakness. "I can be too detail oriented.", "I have a difficult time letting go of tasks, I like to stay involved in a project even if my part is complete", "I don't have a high tolerance for lazy individuals, I'll usually try to do the work myself rather then handing it off to them"

- Be ready to answer typical interview questions about previous employment. What you liked best, worst (again, not too negative, don't talk bad about any one person or department). Talk about any volunteer work, team sports, anything that shows you like contributing your time to an organization.

- Experience: Don't say things like, "I just.... ", "I only...." If you say "I can create databasees but I only have six months experience." makes you sound unsure. Try, "I worked on databases for six months solid, I was able to gain so much knowledge. I am now able to create and maintain a database by myself"

- Disposition: Try not to be uncomfortable, it's difficult but it shows when you are. It's good to add personality and something that will make you more personable. After interviewing multiple people, it's good to give them something to remember you by! If the office you interview in has a golf bag, and you golf... "I see you are a golfer...have you ever been to...?" If you can make them break out of the interview for normal conversation that's a good thing!

- Ask questions! If they ask you a question and you are uncertain about how to answer it, ask for clarification. It's better than a BS answer. Also, when they ask you if you have any questions, have one or two ready. It can be simple, about benifits, or what would you spend most of your day doing? What would the most challenging task for the job be? Ask if there are any clarifications that you could clear up for them...

- Be prepared: Bring a couple copies of your resume/coverletter. Bring questions to ask. Bring your smile! Remember to be confident and show up a little bit early, it will give you time to unwind and review your answers/questions and the last thing you want is to be nervous about getting there on time and adding to tension.

Good luck to you!! :-)

Well ok here are some tips: wear a suit, tie and leather shoes be formal. Calm down before the interview, take a deep breath and try to relax, be polite with everyone, even the secretary and all the people around you. Wear a nice perfume but not much. Ask yourself questions such as: how much money do you want for your salary?, why do you want the job?, what do you have that the others don't?. Good luck!! and go get it tiger! :)
