I was approached last week totally out of the blue by a big player in the industry I work in. They fell upon my CV by chance, thought I'd fit in on a project team they've just set up and have asked to meet with me in order to discuss the opportunity further. I'm meeting with them tomorrow evening and am very pleased to be but I've never met with a potential employer in these circumstances before so any helpful advice or tips on how best to handle it would be great. To be clear, I intend to be as prepared as I would be for any job interview but feel as though this is different.

Thanks in advance.

Wise words Doofus, thanks. Nothing is in the bag other than an interview! I may not even like what they've got to offer me in terms of role/package.

The company I am going to see, was passed my CV from a contact on the contract they hold (and I'm going to talk about) who was passed it from a recruitment consultant with whom I have also been working. The consultant knows nothing of this though.

Does that make sense?! I've reread enough so I think it does.
