Here are a few interview tips to help you make a great
impression on the person who interviews you.

1. Market your skills and related experience in the field
that you are applying for. Be sure to do it in a way
that is positive, but not cocky or aggressive.

2. Research the company before your interview. It’s a
great way to know where you would fit into the
organization. It also lets the employer know that you
really want to be a part of the company.

3. Prepare answers to common interview questions ahead of
time, and practice saying them, so you aren’t stumped
during the interview.

4. Dress for success, in the manner you would dress for
the position you’re seeking.

5. Bring a list of your own questions with you in a folder
with the company’s name on it, so that you don’t forget
them. You should keep your extra resumes in there too.

6. Be a good listener and focus. Some job seekers talk too
much during interviews.

7. Be prepared to describe your weaknesses as strengths.
For example, saying that you are overenthusiastic about
performing at your best.

8. Make eye contact with your interviewer.

9. Don’t volunteer your personal opinions to your
interviewer about any subjects unless you are asked.

10. Try to establish a good rapport with your interviewer.
Be casual but professional, and most importantly BE
YOURSELF! Take the time to implement these interview
tips before your next job hunt. It'll give you a leg up
on your competition!

Good Luck !!!

okay my 1st advice: look nice, be prepared. dress very nicely, carry copies of your resume with you. also think of questions they may ask you for this specific position (if its a teller type position, they may ask about your honesty, they will also probably ask about how well you handle irate customers, etc.) think of any occassions that might come up while working there and how you would handle it. and also answers to the base interview questions, what is your biggest weakness, strength, why do you want this job, why should we hire you, where do you see yourself in 5 years, tell me about yourself etc.

Best piece of advice i ever recieved on interviewing was from an 80s film with crazy hair and wardrobe that some guy had made about how to do interviews, it was on vhs at my local library. and he said - an interview isn't an interogatoin its a conversation! they are asking you to see if they think you will fit, and you are asking them to see if they are where you really want to work. its a conversation. i always remember that on interviews now, several years later its still best advice i ever heard, and it helps me to relax. because i walk in confident thinking that its not an interogation but rather a conversation and i want to make sure they are what i want just as much as they do. only time it didnt work was a board interview i had where 5 people fired questions at me and there was no real conversing. i hated that. lol. good luck.

be nice, smile a lot, be confident. have some examples ready to go along with your answers. If u answer, for example, that you learn quickly, then follow that up with an example of how you learned quickly. Also, your answers should reflect how u will be an asset to the firm and how u are the best person for the job. Good luck!
ps If u don't get the job, there is a reason why-like there is something better for u out there, so don't get upset. Winners get up after they get knocked down. They don't sit on the floor and cry.
