I've had more jobs then all my friends. They will ask you what your last employer will say about you if they talk to them. Say they will say "I'm always on time and I'm a hard worker." If you really are those then you should have no problem. Lots of eye contact and look eagar to work. Should work for whatever kind of job you are looking for. I have been to many interviews and I think my success rate is pretty damn high. Good luck.

Good points. Thanks.
Also - I used to know a web-site where you could plug in info about degree, experience, etc. and it would give an average salary range. I am currently SO underpaaid that isn't even funny.

i find that crawling in on my knees is always helpful. If that doesn't help try what Magil said. Look them in the eye, smile, be attentive and eager, try to develop a rapport with your interviewer, etc. good luck. I am in the job hunt process myself so I will get to do all this crap also.

You too, huh?
I have a phone interview in about an hour. I had zero sleep last night, so I'm fighting to stay awake right now. lol
Follow Mag's advice. Be decicive in your answers -- don't hem and haw. Ask your employer questions, especially about the company -- growth potential, marktet share, whatever.
It is fair to ask how much you'll get paid, but save it until the end of the interview.
Also, you can never be overdressed. Wear a suit, or at least a shirt and tie. Shine the shoes. Even if it's a casual environment, you'll stand out and look professional.
Oh, and be on time. 10 mins early is even better.

Be confident, but not cocky....
Look them in the eye, and nod your head slowly when they're doing the talking.
Don't interrupt and babble.
Have some (good) questions for them. Show them you've done your reseach on them.
Go conservative in dress and manners.
Hope some of these help......good luck man.....

the number one thing that can help you is knowing the difference between confidence and cockiness.
exude confidence, but never get cocky.
depending on the type of interview and who is doing it, sometimes it helps to try to identify with the person and make them feel that you both have things in common.
in most fields, if you got the interview, then it means they like your skillset - so the interview itself is to show that you really have it, and more importantly to see if you are someone they can work with.
treat it like a date.

Rubbing the eye = Doubt, disbelief
Hands clasped behind back = Anger, frustration, apprehension
Locked ankles = Apprehension
Head resting in hand, eyes downcast = Boredom
Rubbing hands = Anticipation
Sitting with hands clasped behind head, legs crossed = Confidence, superiority
Open palm = Sincerity, openness, innocence
Pinching bridge of nose, eyes closed = Negative evaluation
Tapping or drumming fingers = Impatience
Steepling fingers = Authoritative
Patting/fondling hair = Lack of self-confidence; insecurity

this list only applies in some countries - but obviously since cornholio is american - it is perfectly applicable here.
body language changes drastically between cultures - what is considered polite to us is offensive to others.

So Scrap - would swinging the penis around in front of a female interviewer be offensive at least in a NON-sexual way??
Interviewer: "Is there anything you'd change about yourself?"
You: "Yeah, I'd be much less obsessed with work."
Interviewer: "Do you feel that there is anything about your work ethic you would change?"
You: "Yes. I tend to spend far too much time at work, working overtime, and I don't spend enough time with my family. I just love to work. Its my life."
Brownie points never hurt. I swear this got me my last job.
