2. Be a job filler, not a job seeker.
 

3. Be enthusiastic, confident, polite and positive.
 

4. Be business-like and respectful.
 

5. Concentrate on how well you’ll do the job.  Don’t mention personal, home and money problems.
 

6. Sit up straight, look alert and breathe.
 

7. Listen carefully and be attentive.
 

8. Make a list and concentrate on accomplishments and results.
 

9. Smile, show a sense a humor and willingness to laugh at yourself.
 

10. Be calm and don’t put too much pressure on yourself.  (Mistakes and problems will happen.)
 

11. Show a sincere interest in the company, job and interviewer.  Try to make a personal “fit.”
 

12. Remember the “close” and to ask for the job.
