First of all, when the interviewer walks into the room: stand up, look the person in the eye, and extend your arm for a handshake as you say, "Hi, I'm, John Smith, and I'm looking forward to my interviews."
The most important thing to remember when the interviewer asks you to talk about yourself is to speak with enthusiasm. Also practice how you will act during your interview. If you twist your hair with your fingers, nibble on your lips, or bite your fingernails, you will distract the interview. Practice helps to minimize your annoying habits. When I worked giving historic tours, I once had a Priest in the crowd give me an important tip that I have never forgotten: eliminate ers and umms from your speech.
Listen carefully to the interviewers questions. It's natural to be nervous, but, again, if you practice, you will perfect your technique. Ask a good friend to help you before you go.
And, if the first interview doesn't go as successfully as you hoped it would, sit down and write a thank-you note to the interviewer. Be sure to include a short, succinct message about why you want the job and why you would be good at it.
Good luck.
