Hi kiddygurl, i wish you goodluck on your interview, hmm lets see..tips: first of all dress appropriately, if they require you to dress business attire then dress business attire, then make sure your hair is neatly done, and that you look professiosnal in a sense. 2. Bring fresh mints or breath mints in mot saying you have a bad breath but in an interview, theres just the 2 of you in the small room, the interviewer and you- so at least you're sure that when you speak your breath smells fresh enough. And it will get you good impression points as well. 3. Make sure that your resume is complete and updated with your latest photo. 4. Bring all the necessary documents required such as clearances, birth certificate, social security numbers etc. 5. Make sure that you know what position it is that you are applying for and that you have ample knowledge on that position, you know the job description and what that job does. 6. Speak fluently, if need to- speak slowly so your words would sound clear and the interviewer will understand you. 7. Point out your strengths, but don't be too braggy about it. 8. If you want that job- make it known to them that you do want that job- be confident but not so much confidence that they would think that your boasting or something. Just let them know that you will do your best if you get the job. 9. Don't ask about the salary unless they tell it to you first. Your main goal here is to get the job. 10. SMILE... it works!

When they ask tell me about your self. Please do not give your family history, What they are looking for are your idea of what you have learned and are good at. So you can say I love to read, and I have an excellent memory for trivia. I just learned how to ---whatever, and I thought it was going to be a challenge but it turned out that it was related to alot of my other interests, So you see, you are telling them about your self but you are also telling them stuff they need to know, do you work better on your own or are you a group worker . so that is why that is the first question and how you answer it is what will get you or loose you the job, so have a good answer in mind. when you arrive a few minutes early, dressed nicely and all prepared and composed I wish you good luck

Make sure you properly dresses and carry yourself well. Hold you head up and smile and remember they will ask alot of guestions like what could you do for me? why did you chose my company? It has always been a good choice of mine to do some research on company that I am interviewing with so you have a little insight about what it is you may be doing... A good personality with a pleasant personality is a plus with a good written resume. Nows adays I noticed alot want a well written resume with personal references. Good luck to you.
