Get there in plenty of time, and sign in five minutes early.

And clean your fking shoes.

Be nice, and smile!! They will proberably want someone they can work with for a while at least.

If they ask any questions and you are not sure the answer you have prepared is the on they want to hear then ask them to qualify the question and that usually gives you an insite into the answer they want to hear.

Good Luck

Thats it basically.

Be on time, be smart, and be relaxed. It's an interview not a murder trial.

Best of luck

Pad, paper, pen, pen, copy of CV, copy of CV.

Take notes. Have questions written down to ask.

Suit is a light grey one with bluish hue. Shoes are sparkling already. Shirt is either striped or checked. The one I want to wear (striped one) is also the one occasionally worn on nights out. Its a lovely Italian jobbie, and not sure if it might be a bit casual, even with tie on. We'll see.

Real problem will be questions I think. Im at a huge academic disadvantage compared to lots of the applicants, but have a CV which is much more practical, and much more what the company want. Think im going to have to play they "I can do it, and have proved I can do it" lines rather than talking about a Masters in something complicated.....

Be very friendly to the receptionist/anyone you see in reception.

If is quite usual for the interviewer to ask the receptionist if you were pleasant etc.
