  Dress Well, Groom Well
  
  First impressions matter and most people judge the kind of person you are just by the way you are dressed. Whether their impression of you is wrong or not, it does not matter. It is an interview, so you have to impress the best. Take note of the career field you are applying into. For conservative professions such as accounting, banking, law or even architecture you will need formal wear, this includes a suit jacket. For more relaxed professions such as Web-designing, maintain the formal look with a neck-tie, a suit jacket is not a must.

  Be Your Best Self
  
  Be proud of yourself and what you have going for you. Most employers can read body languages and can quickly discern whether you are scared, nervous or too shy to look them in the eye and answer a direct question. Who wants to hire someone that is not confident? So take note!
