Wear something that is appropriate for business (e.g., guys should wear a jacket and tie -- girls should wear neutral or no nail polish and very little jewelry ).
Don't chew gum or smoke. Don't use slang or swear. Don't lie. Don't be afraid to ask questions -- after all, you are interviewing them, too.
Let them know that you are excited to be there and want to be admitted.

1. Clothing: If looking for a job in the business world, a dark blue or charcoal suit, wear a nice tie. In the business world, blue is the color of money when it comes to clothes. Education: Light colored suit; wear an appropriate tie. Earth tones make you appear more personable. For other professions, think about what you are trying to convey. You don't wear a bright-colored, plaid suit to an interview at a funeral home. Neither would you wear a black suit to interview for position at a hospital for sick children.
2. Look your interviewer in the eyes, smile, and give them a firm handshake upon greeting them.
3. Posture: Sit up straight, be confident.
4. Mannerisms: Don't squirm, don't fidget, and try to maintain eye contact, without staring your interveiwer down. Answer questions in an even, though not monotone, voice. Try to always maintain your cool. Some questions may throw you for a loop, so just think quickly and respond as best as you can. Always try to maintain your smile, though don't look ridiculous doing it.
5. Appearance: For women, light makeup, limited jewelry, trimmed nails, and hair should look nice (no wild styles or colors). For men, watch, wedding ring (if applicable), no earrings, and hide any necklaces. No makeup - no exceptions to this. Hair should be short and look nice.
6. Bring a copy of your resume, and prepare for questions. There are several online sites that offer generic, frequently-asked questions. You can also think back to other interviews you have had, or ask your friends and family members. Prepare and you'll do fine. Also, think of good questions to ask your interviewer. For example, ask about what the next steps will be in the interviewing process, what kind of health plan they have, and what effects recent news, laws, etc. will have on the company. Do your research.
I hope this helps.

Aside from the attire, which others has commented on I would advise you read up on some common interview questions. You should have a good idea of what your strengths and weaknesses are. Weaknesses can be in the form of lack of experience, poor recs from past jobs, or flawed personality traits. You def. want to acknowledge your weaknesses, but emphasize your strengths. When you speak of past job experience speak with confidence and describe your accomplishments with concrete examples. E.g. I have increased productivity by 43% because I created new work incentives. Make sure you know what you want from this job as well. You should not say something vague and generic. like growing as a person or becoming a better consultant. Say something that is specific to your company and the job you are going for.
