I interview a lot of people for our company. Firm handshake and eye contact are good. Asking questions is good. Also, show that you've done your research--check out the company website at the very least. Look for mission and vision statements and incorporate the ideas you find there in what you have to say. Be prepared to defend your weaknesses. We post specific job requirements, if you can't meet all of them be willing to explain why you can do the job anyway. The perfect candidate rarely walks in and employers often have to choose the one closest to what they want. Have some stories to tell. Most interviewers use standard questions. As someone else already said look for a list and prepare some answers. Most interviewers will ask about how you've handled some problem, your strenghts and weaknesses, why you are the best candidate for the job--have some good stories to tell in answer to these type of questions and you'll be well on your way. They can't ask you about your health, family, religion, minority status etc., but if any of that is in your favor volunteer it. Good Luck!</p></blockquote><p></p>
