Establish the right mindset beforehand

• Get yourself hyped for the interview.
• This can be pretty difficult for some people,
  especially if you've got a lot on the line. Try
  taking some deep breaths. A good trick for
  maintaining a sense of calm is visualizing your
  success and accepting that rejection's a
  possibility, but not an inevitability.
• If you're nervous, as Steve Errey of "The Daily
  Muse" writes, it's important not to assume your
  interviewer is there to be judgmental and mean.
  The hiring manager is not your opponent odds
  are, they're hoping to feel wowed.
• "You were asked to come in because someone at the
  company wants to get to know you," says Errey.
  "The hiring manager wants to hear more about the
  experiences he read about on paper, and I promise
  you no one is looking to see how much shaking you
  can do in those boots of yours."

Prepare some good questions

• Job interviews are scary. By the end of the
  ordeal, you're probably thinking that the last
  thing you want to do is drag on the experience
  with more questions.
• However, asking good questions that demonstrate
  your knowledge and interest in the job is exactly
  what you have to do in order to demonstrate your
  interest and engagement.
• Because it's often impossible for some people to
  think up informed questions on the spot, write
  some down beforehand. Rehearse them a bit, if
  that makes you feel more comfortable.

Break the ice with some good conversation starters

• First impressions are important, so you really
  want to get off on the right foot at your
  interview.
• Still, job interviews are often present a
  somewhat intimidating conversational environment,
  so finding the right conversation starter can be
  pretty tricky. It can be hard to make a perfect
  first impression when you're super nervous to
  begin with.
• Rachel Gillett previously reported for Business
  Insider that the key is making the job
  interviewer feel like they have your undivided
  attention good conversation starters include
  asking about the person's weekend or referencing
  a post you liked from their organization's blog
  or social media platforms.

5
Be open about your weaknesses

• When the hiring manager asks about your greatest
  weakness, it can be tough to come up with a good
  answer. Whatever you do, don't say that you work
  too hard. Kudos to the person who first thought
  that up, but it's pretty much a cliché at this
  point.
• Discussing a lesson garnered from finance author
  and speaker Ramit Sethi's appearance on "The Tim
  Ferriss Show," Richard Feloni of Business
  Insider broke down how exactly to answer this
  tricky question identify your real biggest
  weakness and describe how you've corrected it.

6
Maintain good body language

• Projecting confidence doesn't come easy to
  everyone. Still, it's a crucial part of selling
  yourself in an interview.
• Slouching, fidgeting, and averting your eyes are
  all behaviors that might make you appear awkward
   or, worse, deceptive.
• It's definitely hard to control, but if you're
  prone to these habits, make a special effort to
  reign them in during your interview.
