First Impressions Count Offer your hand and introduce yourself! The interviewer really wants to meet you!
Pay Attention Listen to the interview. Do not go off on tangents or let your mind wander.
Take Your Time Organize your thoughts. Ask or have the interviewer reiterate a question if you do not understand it. Answering quickly is not necessarily an advantage.
Body Language Counts Treat the interviewer as if he or she were the most important person in the world. Maintain eye contact and watch the nervous habits, like tapping.
Keep the Glass Half-Full No one knows you better than you. Be positive about your life's experiences, whether in school, at work or with your extracurricular activities.
Be Confident You are your best advocate, so be comfortable and express yourself as if you are in command. Be nothing other than truthful.
Prepare Your Own Questions Remember that you are interviewing us as well. Is this a place you can be excited about going to each day?
Completing the Interview

Get a business card. If you were not offered one during the interview, make sure you do not leave without it.
Remember your ''thank yous''. Be gracious and exercise good manners by writing a brief thank you note - promptly. An email is good; a note or letter is better.
