The governor says you don't have to check that box anymore. You're in.

Be honest, but also tailor your answers to the fact that you are in a job interview. Don't be like the guy I interviewed once who, when asked what he would do if he found a coworker bending ethical rules, basically said, "Keep it down home, cuz." Was he honest? Oh yes. Did he get the job? Oh no. You have to be smart and have an understanding of what they want to hear from you.
Also, if you have any job- or school-related activities or accomplishments in your past that you are particularly proud of or that you think really show your work ethic, ability to manage or solve problems, etc., go ahead and get straight in your head what they are, how you will describe them, and how you can use them to point out your strengths. Don't wait until you are in an interview to try and remember them then.
Also practice answering the question, "So, tell us a little about yourself." It's going to get asked, usually right off the bat, and how you answer it will dictate how the rest of the interview goes.

- make sure you don't come across as desperate
- convince the interviewer you are qualifying them as an employer as much as they are evaluating you as a potential employee. People want to hire someone aspiring to the position, not just looking for a job
- ask questions about how the business and how you can contribute, like "what would be the main items I should work to address in my first 90 days?"
- listen more, talk less
- don't review your qualifications as that's on your CV. spend more time on accomplishments
- convey passion and commitment
Good luck

If I feel like I can go have a beer with you after the interview, you've got a huge advantage

Research the company and position being interviewed for. Shows real interest and desire to get the position. Be genuine.

Well first off you need to get smart enough to realize you don't post this shite on the OT. Try the Money board.
I don't interview engineers however regardless of the person I want them to know something about our company, our competition and the market. So if I were you I'd read all that material.

Do some research beforehand to learn something about the business interviewing you. That will show that you prepare and are interested in the job.

Great advice all around JohnnyT, but especially these two. You really should be interviewing them as an employer as well during this process. Also, speak highly of your current employer during the interview when asked why you're leaving.

Research the company you are interviewing with.
Be confident.
Ask a lot of questions. Should be easy since you researched the shite out of them.

Eye contact, never break eye contact. If you do it right, they'll look away eventually and then you've won.

You are correct.
I always ask them how they like working where they work
It is good because tou find out then and there if they love their job or if it is not as great as they build it to be.
You ask them to elaborate on why it is a good place to work.
