Thrasher:
As as employer I'd say :

1. Be confident, but not cocky.
2. Ask relevant questions - do not just sit there and answer questions.
3. Know your CV - expect to be asked questions about it, and your potential experience.

Obviously dress smartly.

Range Rover Blues:
Errm, first impressions count.  Also how you sit, don't slouch, sit forward in your seat like you're interested in what the interviewer is saying, or relaxed back in the chair, perhaps with your legs crosse at the shin if you have the upper hand.  Stand up when the interviewer comes into the room and shake their hand.

Never have the last interview before lunch, or at 5.00 either, make sure you are early so you have time to check your appearence etc.

Look up some practice questions and know the answers, if you have the interview then your CV says you can do the job, all you'll do is talk yourself out of it so think before you open your mouth about your answers.

Keep in mind that the interview is not just about you seeling yourself but also the potential employer selling themselves to you, why do you want the job and what's in it for you.  When you get asked if you have any qaueastions you should have a good couple for them, like career progression, training, promotion that kind of thing (not how much do i get paid and how  any sickies can I get away with).

do a bit of research on the company before you go for the interview, take an interest in what they do , be yourself dont try and be something your not you will get found out

davidlandy:

dont harp on about money

research the company

dont be too cocky, but do let them know about your successes.
