When you’re in the interview, sit straight – but not stiff as a board – and project your voice properly. Don’t mumble. Breathe easy as you can. Smile when appropriate. Make eye contact and keep easy conversation.
Answer questions honestly. That’s the most important trait you can have – integrity. If a potential employer senses duplicity in you, you’re toast. Lying will get you nowhere fast. If you don’t know something, ask.
Bonus Tip: Remember, these are just people. They’ve got families and jobs, too. They were once in the same position as you, sitting in front of a prospective employer sweating it out. You’re connected by human experience. Breathe!

This is technically part of physical presentation since it will leave a good impression on your interviewer. Bring copies of your resume, just in case, as well as stationery for taking notes, should you need it. A pen and paper for notes and questions. Carry them in a professional-looking briefcase – don’t just whip them out of your pocket.
