The following key points may seem straightforward but they're the most important steps you can take to ensure you make a good impression from the get-go.Be prepared Research the company thoroughly prior to the job interview. Hmm, we may have said this before. But we make no apologies because this is the single most important piece of advice we can give you, read through the company website to gain a thorough understanding of what it does, its values, clients or audience and any technologies it uses (or could be using).
Interview questions
All this prep work will go a long way to helping you prepare answers to questions you might be asked during the interview. As well as swotting up on the standard questions, if you applied through a recruitment consultant, make them earn their fee by briefing you on specific things the employer might ask. At the end of the day, they want you to get the job and get paid their placement fee – so use them.
TimekeepingMake sure you're on time. Don't have an alarm clock? Get one. Plan your route in advance and make a dry run to the interview location a few days beforehand to make sure you’re clear on where you’re going. Print out directions and maps from sites like Google Maps and make sure you have alternate routes available should there be any problems.
Dress the partWhile many companies will still expect you to turn up in a suit and tie, or formal office wear, this may not always be the case – particularly if you are interviewing for a website or new media company. And turning up overly smart for an interview at the latest dotcom could actually work against you.
After the interviewIf you're unsuccessful, use it as an opportunity to improve. Ask for feedback from the interviewer. You're entitled to it! If you were skills or competency tested, ask for the results. This shows initiative and keenness on your part, as well as boosting your future interview success chances; the interviewer might consider you for future vacancies at the company based on this action alone.

My honest opinion about job interviews is whatever you do and however you're prepered, the bottomline is, what the employer seeks and wants and who is the type of person he's fond of. A few years ago when a was a trainee in a major international company, the public relations office was contacted interviews for a secretary. After a logical period of gathering CV's, there were two candidates. The first one, was a young woman, very preasantable and with the demanded qualifications. The other one, was older than her, short and not so preasantable. Which one do you think, got the job? The logical thing is the first one, but it was the second one. It clearly didn't fit to the job but the public relations' manager (a woman in her50's) she would probably be threatened by the younger, beautiful and very qualified woman. So, this is an example of how things are working. I don't believe anymore that is in our hands to find a job but if we are lucky and our personality is likeable by the employer then we got the job.
Nice answers. I may add: sleep well & early. wake up early. Have a walk or a run for10 minutes. Be sure that your job is waiting somewhere. If it is not that one, it will be an other.
be yourselves....thats it
1. Hygiene
2. 5 minute speech on who you are, what you've done and what you want to do.
3. Stay formal at all times. If you asked for coffee refuse it politely.
4. If you don't know the answer to examination test then be honest about it.
5. Whether you get the job or not always write a thank you letter. It might help in future employment
