I have the big things covered, just any tips would be appreciated, I know there are some people on here who have conducted interviews in the past.
First big interview tomorrow... wish me luck... its been a hell of a day, spent 2 hours on a paper that was due today, printed it at the comp lab, saved it... it saved it wrong somehow, just ate the file, IT guy couldn't figure it out and said it was a problem with the system (no shit) and then basically just told me about his problems so I just left... figured I had the hard copy --- went to pick it up and they never got it either. Nothing had printed I just took it as a loss because I have enough shit to do today after that paper... ...anyway, interview advice would be appreciated, thanks

I used to own an insurance business and interviewed many potential employees over the years. DO NOT throw any of your old bosses or managers under the bus!!! If they ask you how you handled a difficult situation in your prior employment and you make you prior boss look bad, they will not hire you.
Answer the questions directly, don't ramble, look them in the eye, speak from the heart and be genuine. Employers are looking for people that not only have a good resume, but also will "fit" in the work environment they're interviewing for. Get there early and get a feel for what it is like working there. Imagine yourself already hired and enjoying the people and surroundings. It'll help the interviewer "see" you working there. Be focused and yet relaxed at the same time.

I have morning wood sex with my girlfreind and drink green tea and apple juice with some beer to help me relax. I have been told all of those things send signals to the brain to relax. Answer confidently and sit up straight and look the interviewer in the eyes and follow Henry-Lilly's advice.

I'd imagine others might not agree with this, but it worked for me and I have a pretty good gig......
If they ask you something you really can't answer........its ok to be honest and say "I don't really have an answer to that" instead of making up some obvious BS
They asked me something along the lines of "Name a time you let down a former co-worker somehow".....
And I thought about it for five seconds.......and then said "Obviously there might have been times where my actions were not not especially beneficial to my co-workers.........but I honestly can't thing of a concrete example off the top of my head, and don't want to make anything up.........so I'm going to have to pass on that question"

It wasn't a problem at all.....
I think it will go well, and it's not like I am leaning on this job, I really haven't even started applying to jobs, but I had talked to someone from this organization and sent him my resume, and they responded.
I'm actually about to figure out where my top 5 'dream' cities to live and work in, and just apply to every potential employed for me in those cities and see what happens.
The city I'm interviewing in is FAR from great, especially in the winter, but it could easily be one of the best jobs for starting a career, so I wouldn't mind working a pre-determined short period there.

Why would you start a thread asking for advice, get some advice and then act like none of it matters to you?
The karma train may bring you a messy and embarrassing diarrhea attack during this interview.

I gave a , thought he gave GREAT advice, and then just talked about how I think it will go well and I'm not too stressed out by it, and then just rambled about my future plans.
Sorry to offend you sweetheart. I'll let you know if I shit my pants.

70% of an interview is conveyed by a potential candidate nonverbally. People believe they instinctively convey everything appropriately and only worry about the often shallow and hifalutin words coming out of their mouth.
It takes a conscious effort to appear likable, and genuine. Without those two things, your as dead as roadkill on the NJ Turnpike.
Remind yourself to:
1) Sit up straight.
2) Keep your hands visible (hiding them conveys dishonesty).
3) Attempt to sit at a slight angle to the interviewer (Direct face to face contact is considered hostile).
4) Don't allow any of the interviewers desk ornaments or paperwork stacks block you (blocks your profile and your message).
5) Make eye contact and keep it fixed when you answer questions. It's easy to look at an interviewer when talking but it's amazing how many people let their eyes wander when they answer. No need for laserlike eye-piercing. You're eyelids should be at the same level as when you're reading an enjoyable novel.
6) Avoid pacifying gestures - Rubbing your arms, preening your clothes, fixing your tie, facial touching/massaging, palm to palm touching (conveys nervousness and uncertainty, you want to exude confidence.
7) Keep a subtle but genuine smile on your face. Don't actually smile, but make sure your lips are bent upward slightly. Any frowning or lip pursing conveys negativity.
8) Fold your hands on your lap in a relaxed state with the thumbs slightly up (hiding thumbs conveys one is unconfident).
9) Cross your legs slightly under your chair (conveys your comfortable in your situation).
You're 70% there with the above (seriously!). The other 30% is articulation and technical knowledge.

Interviewing is a 'sell'. Just like any product on the market, you are selling yourself.
It is your job to convince an employer to hire you.
You don't wear a suit outside of a wedding and a funeral and suddenly you wear one for a job.
This is a facade to impress. The employer knows you are doing it. You know the employer knows you are doing this.
In the same regard, using nonverbal body language techniques to convey subconscious appeal is no different then putting a huge clown in your commercials to get kids to beg their parents to buy your chicken nuggets. It's marketing; plain and simple.

People like to talk about themselves. If you ask questions that encourage the interviewer(s) to do a lot of talking about themselves, their jobs and the company, you accomplish a multitude of things. 1.)You will learn a lot about the company...maybe you don't want the job. 2.)You will make them like you. Do not underestimate how much people like to drone on and on about themselves. and most importantly, 3.) they have budgeted an amount of time for the interview...therefore...the more they talk, the less you talk...the less you talk, the less chance you have to fuck up.

Show passion and conviction in everything you talk about during the interview. There are a million people out there that are all basically in the same boat when it comes to experience and qualifications. You have to set yourself apart in the interviewers mind. Energy, passion, and personality are the 3 best ways to separate yourself from the average Joe.

Sounds goodd tikitom, that's definitely a goal of mine, to let them talk as much as they want to.
Scal, I think I'm still wearing the suit... typical dress for work will be a shirt and tie, no jacket, but I met a few people from this company before wearing a suit, they were wearing a suit, I don't think I will be over-dressed.
