A job interview can be very stressful,especially for people who have recently left education or have not experienced many job interviews in the past. How you conduct yourself & the things you say during an interview are the only opportunity you to impress.
See the Do's & Don'ts:

• Arrive 15 minutes prior to your interview, allow extra time for traffic, parking and slow elevators.
• Switch your cell phone off or leave it in the car
• Use a firm handshake
• Maintain good eye contact throughout the meeting interview

• Listen very carefully to understand the questions
• Answer in the present tense
• Speak clearly, audible, using business language (refrain from using slang)
• State reason for leaving as “better prospects” or “better challenges”

• Use the clients surname about 4 times during the interview
• Answer all the questions honestly and directly without deviating
• Answer questions with ‘YES” or ‘NO” and explain wherever possible

Sell your expertise to the client by providing examples of your past accomplishments.
