I think it's good advice, but it should be obvious advice. Unfortunately in our society, not a lot of people know these basic skills.
I've learned that even after the best interview, sometimes you just aren't qualified for the job.
The best advice I can give you is to practice, practice, practice. If you're in college, go through a mock-interview process.

Its not bad. A few things I would definately be adding. I use to train courses.
1. When asking questions make sure you tell them to be prepared. I know you mentioned it but hammer it in.
2. They need to know who is going to interview them. They need to know their name, how to pronounce it. When they walk into the room they give them their resume again. This time its written out to the interviewer. People like to see their name. Also when giving a resume out, only give it to a manager with the managers name already on it. Dont just drop off a resume.
3. After the first questions from the interviewer, the interviewee has to take over. Question question question. Good questions, show you did some research.
4. The applicant has about 10 seconds to walk into the room and know everything they can about the interviewer. What team do they like, do they have a family, is he/she right or left handed, what do these things matter. It makes you focus very quickly. If its something in common with you, its nice to throw in a couple statements that have nothing to do with your job.
5. Smile and if you can laugh a little.
6. Find out if they are hiring all day, try and be 3rd or 4th. They first few are bad interviews and the person isnt really awake yet. Blow them away at 3 or 4, then its just going through the motions. A good interview knows the second they walk out if they have the job.
7. If the person gives you 15 minutes for your interview and you are interesting enough to take double what you get, you wont get the job. Be early be late. The will have to catch up and everybody else gets shafted to keep on schedule.
8. Be very interesting, let them ramble on all day about themselves, how they got into the company, what they like best about the company etc. These questions will take forever for them to answer. You are just ticking away at the time. You can get the job just listening to them.
I think what you wrote is a good start. I think each point needs to be expanded. Its very generic right now, generic doesnt get you hired. You need to throw in a few things that nobody is going to do.
Good luck with what you are writing. So far its good, but you do need somebody to proof read it. Your opening title makes no sense. Even if you add grammar too it, I still cant get it to form a sentence that makes sense.

Not to burst your bubble here, but the title doesn't even make sense. In fact, your question on Yahoo Answers doesn't even make sense. The first few sentences have grammatical errors that were very easy to spot. There is a wonderful thing called spell check, or friends/business associates to proof something before submitting it.

You can't even put together a coherent sentence, and you want people to read a whole article?? Slow down when you write, and PROOFREAD.
