First off, congratulations and good luck!

Secondly, RELAX! Since they can ask just about anything and everything during an interview, one of the key things here is to (a) not appear too anxious, or (b) not appear too scared or out of it. Be sure to have a good amount of respect toward the person you are talking to. "Sir" or "Maam" may be in order when talking to them.

Thirdly, BE YOURSELF. Do not pretend to be someone you are not, but also realize you are going in for an interview in a professional environment, so behave yourself, do not crack jokes and things like that during the interview. Answer the questions truthfully and seriously.

What they should NOT be asking about is your personal history, beyond whatever you have listed in your resume, such as high school and college courses and activities, community work, hobbies and things like that.

Finally, be professionally dressed for the interview. Wear something business formal. Wear appropriate shoes as well - do not wear sneakers. Do not wear hats or headwraps or anything like that. If it is raining, do not wear boots or a yellow rain slicker. Use an umbrella. Be clean shaven and neatly trimmed. Clip your nails, wash your hands, get the gunk out from inside your fingernails.

If you are accepted, they will tell you what the general office dress code is. If you are lucky, it will be casual. If not, it will be strictly high end business. But even most strictly business firms have one dress-down day a week.

Depending on what type of skills they are looking for, they may have you take a test right there to see if what you put on your resume is true or not. If you dont understand something on the test, tell them - explain you have never encountered or used something like that they are testing you on. They will understand. Being honest will get you more kudos that bindly claiming you know something you really dont know anything about.

all the above is good advice.
remember first impessions, if a handshake is in order, don't give a limp one, or a "squeeze." Look "em right in the eye, relax, and answer their questions., brief and to the point. And its' Mister, Mrs, Miss, unless they say otherwise.
