Hiya
Firstly good luck!
My advice would be tink of 3 ot 4 good questions to ask them that will take the pressure off of you like:
What are the company's ambitions for growth over the next 5 years?
If I was lucky enough to get the job, what further career development opportunities would I be able go for?
What aspects of this role does the company see as most important?
What is the company's promotions policy - would you always seek an internal candidate first?
I want to really progress in this role - if I succeed and over deliver to expectations, what benefits would I enjoy?
I believe in doing things to the best of my ability - what are the company's quality objectives?
I'm sure you've got the idea now, but don't be afraid to writ them down and keep them in your pocket. When asked pull out the paper and fire away. This is a great technique for displaying confidence and ambition to succeed if they put the job your way.
Also - find out as much about the company as you can from the Library (they will be listed in the company registers). It can be quite informative.
Lastly relax - think about what they ask you before answering and always answer honestly. If you don't know something say so and don't waffle on - they will appreciate your honesty.
Best of luck with it.

Just relax and try not to get too tense. When questions are answered, while you don't want to overdo it, try to answer the questions as fully and sure as possible, and try to just stick to the question he asks, instead of answering a whole lot of other questions that was not ask in an attempt to impress the employer. What could also be a good help is if you know the area in which you are being employed. Do a little reading, or find out little more about where you are supposed to be working. The more you know, the more intelligent your answers may be when the employer interviews you.

I can give you something TO do, and I swear it works wonders. When they ask you why you want the job, you should answer, "Actually I'm not looking for a job, I'm looking for a career." Employers love to hear this, because it means you are seriously looking at the long term, and who knows; you may really like this new company and may make a career out of it.
My husband answered his first job interview for an entry-level position with a company this way. It didn't take long for them to recognize his drive and promote him to management. Good luck on your interview!

Just relax and be yourself. If you can do a little research on the job/company your going to the interview for. When they ask questions give full answers and personal experiences. Sell yourself basically but don't be blase

Make sure you dress nicely, and be confident. Not aggressive, but answer everything like you know exactly what you are talking about, even if you don't. Try really hard not to say 'Um', and have a good, firm, handshake. Since that's the first impression they will get of you, you want to make that good and confident as well.

Always always always look the interviewer in the eye. That lets them know that you are confident in yourself and that you are being truthful. Do not cross your arms, that is bad body language. Be prepared to answer questions like "what do you know about our company" "what interests you in this position" "how can you be an asset to our company"? GOOD LUCK!

For starters, make sure that if you fill out any paperwork or write anything, that you spell correctly. Spelling really DOES count when it comes to the application and interview process.
Make eye contact with your interviewer. Show what you know. If you don't know the answer to something, tell them, "I don't know, but I *do* know how to find out," and explain how you will go about finding out the answer.

don't talk too much. Don't chew gum , dress neat . Look them square in the eye and lean forward a little in the chair. Get plenty of sleep. Cover your tattoos. Remember, it's like talking to your father. Bring a pen.

I do not know what type of job you are applying for but be calm, be positive, be enthusiastic, be honest, know a bit about the company, ask an intelligent question, most importantly be yourself.
Good luck!
