Remember that it's not the Principal's office.
It is an interview .
Know your stuff, know about the company, know what you want what you can do and just be confident in yourself and your abilities.
Mainly just be ready and honest and confident.
There is alot of great advice in response to your question..Please..skip stuff like the xanax, the fruit, donuts..you get the picture.
Just go with the good advice, you'll know it when you read it. |

Many people don't think of this, but first impressions can really influence an employer, either good or bad. Employers can be impressed with the clothing you wear and even your handshake. Blowing on your thumb reduces nervousness. Just be yourself, and don't lose your cool. Good luck! |

Take a xanax before hitting the hay the night before, you'll be calm all day the next day... Just don't get too carried away with it, the stuff can be bad for you. |

well for one, always hold a strong eye contact, they love that. Also answer strongly and appear not to be fearful or nervous during the interview, bosses love strong minded ppl. |

Keep eye contact, don't fidget and don't complain about your last boss or job. |

Know the company and their needs. Sit comfortably - hand in lap. Smile - speak softly but with confidence. Look the person in the face. Stay calm. This isn't the only interview you will ever have. |

I always put a slice of fresh fruit in my armpits right before going to an interview. It's something special that only I know, that is actually quite insane. That way I can answer any of their questions just fine. "Sure, I react great under pressure!" Then I think, "but I'm not telling you about this peach in my armpit! Ha Ha Ha!" |

Remember that not only are you being interviewed by this company but in some ways you are interviewing them as well.
Try to find out early in the interview what exactly they are looking for...you might say "what are some key characteristics you look for in employees?" or, "in your experience what types of people tend to be successful in this company" having this knowledge can help you to word your answers to what they are looking for.
also, try to do some research on the company. find out as much as you can about their history and growth...human resources or hiring managers love prospective candidates who take the time to do research on the company.
also, remember to take a deep breath before answering the question...don't start to formulate your answer until AFTER the interviewer is done speaking...if you start to think of an answer half way through the question you might just miss an important aspect of the question
relax, don't slouch, look professional (the part), be confident, and be early for the interview.

good luck! |

Be confident but not conceited. Look him/her straight in the eye and give a solid, firm handshake (even if it is a woman). Listen, don't blab nervously. Absorb the question, think, and then give a well thought out response. Smile throughout, always make eye contact. Do some research about the company and formulate some questions you may have. They usually ask you at the end if you have any questions. This is an opportunity to let them know you are different than the others. You know something about them and you have some real interest. It is so much better than saying, uh, no........ It could be something geared towards future opportunities for advancement or education. Leave with the same shake and smile that you came in with and thank them for their time. Good Luck choppers! |

To impress an employer, you want to dress appropriately, SMILE, make good eye contact, have a firm handshake, and act enthusiastic about the prospect of working for this company.
Do some research about the company so you can ask intelligent questions and so you'll have an answer if you're asked, "Why do you want to work here." You should rehearse this answer because it is a pretty common interview question. You should be able to say, "I was so impressed when I read about your organization doing [insert something here] that it really made me want to be a contributing part of your firm."
As far as relaxing goes, just realize that this is not the only job out there. Don't feel like your entire future hinges on this interview because it doesn't.
Edited to add:
1) Get there early. Remember: Early is on time; on time is late; and late is inexcusable.
2) Be sure to send a thank you letter after the interview (there are lots of examples to follow online). |

I'd dress appropriately.....nice suit......make sure shoes are shiney and clean. When I interviewed people, I looked for someone who was sharp. Another tip is do not say "negative" things about your previous employer ie. downing them and trashing them. The most common 2 questions are........What are your strengths and What are your weaknesses. Be prepared to answer them and on what you can do to improve your weaknesses. |

Basically just be yourself. Think of the person as one of your friends and remember to be respectful. Make eye contact but don't stare and be very attentive. Ask questions about the job to show that you're paying attention and you're interested. At the end of the interview tell them thank you for taking the time to see me and you look forward to seeing them soon. |
