Try and get as much info on the company as possible. You can drop this into the conversation throughout the interview. Sit with a pad and think about your strengths and weaknesses and what skills you will be taking to the position.They may ask this in the interview and by doing this exercise you will have your response ready. When they ask you a question just take a minute to consider what they are asking as this is where many people slip up. Finally get some sleep and stop worrying. Be confident and state that your willing to learn any new processes or procedures and just stay calm...Good Luck I hope you get it :)

Employers love to ask questions like where do you see yourself in five, ten years? Why should we hire you/what makes you a better candidate for the position? What are your strengths/weaknesses? Why do you want to work here? Describe your ideal manager/place to work? Think about the responses to some of these questions before you go to the interview just in case. Also, make sure you ask some questions at the end. I always prepare a few questions for the interviewer like is this a newly created position? If not, what happened to the person who had the position? What do you like best/worst about the company? and of course find out how much they are willing to pay to someone with your qualifications. Also, do your homework. Try to learn as much as you can about the company before going to the interview.

Dress nicely
Speak clearly without any slang
Some questions that might be used to help you prepare
Why do you want to work here?
What are your string points?
What are your weaknesses?
Why would you be a better candidate than anyone else?
What are your goals?
Where do you see yourself in five years?
Just some things that might come up to help you be better prepared.

Be yourself.

Ask questions - it shows you're interested

Be sure to smile.

Shake hands (firmly, don't be a wimp)

Follow up your interview with a quick e-mail thanking them for their time and reiterating your interest in working there.
