Interviewing tomorrow.....any last minute pointers?

I always make sure I have 3 questions prepared pre-interview and jotted down in my padfolio - I usually try to have 1 be specific to the position and 2 to the company. It shows that some research was done ahead of time From the other side of being involved with interviewing I am always shocked when someone just says "nope!" at the end when they're asked if they have any questions. Good luck!!

smile. be genuine. it's better to take a moment and think of a good response, rather than blurt out the first thing that comes to mind.
good luck!

Take your time answering questions--like Softcream said, no need to rush. Try to think of some questions they might ask you and practice your answers out loud. Think of a question to ask at the end. Good luck!

The more convinced/confident you are that you actually ARE the best person for the position, the most likely they are to believe you. And just be yourself!

I agree with having questions, nothing worse then them saying "do you have any questions?" and you having nothing to say! Have a few prepared in case they end up answering some before you get to ask.
Good luck!!!

Think of the interview like a ping pong game. Make it conversational and ask questions based off questions they ask you. Then at the end, ask additional questions strategically based off their responses earlier that show you are thinking at the next level. Get their business card(s) and write follow-up thank you emails same day.
Good luck, you'll do great!

I always like to restate the question they ask. "I think that I'd be great for the job because....." And stuff like that. Good luck and happy hiring thoughts directed your way!!!!

One question that I have been asked at pretty much every interview is "what is your greatest strength and what is your greatest weakness?". I always have a few strengths and weaknesses thought out in advance.

Ask questions.
Do your research and tie something you learned about the company or employer into an answer.
Remember that they would be lucky to get you.
Don't Chew gum!
Wear something great. Better to overdress than underdressing.
Be on time.

Have a kick-ass handshake. Also, like some PP suggested, have a few legit questions to ask about the position/company at the end.
Good luck!!!

Be confident, smile but don't smile too much! Be prepared for all the typical interview questions, ask questions and dress to impress! Good luck!
