When you're called in for a job interview, it's your chance to show off your personality, your skill set, and your interest in the company and job you applied for. No interview is quite like the other, and a lot may depend on how well you connect with your interviewer, but there are still several steps you can take to prepare: 

• Research the company and your interviewer - Check out the company website, paying close attention to the work they do and the values they express (check for a mission statement if they have one). You can also take a look at your interviewer's LinkedIn profile and other social media accounts they use professionally to learn more about their experience and what you may have in common.
• Try to come up with answers for routine interview questions - If you've interviewed for jobs before, you know there are a few standard questions that tend to come up. Employers may ask you to describe yourself, to list your strengths and weaknesses, or to explain why you're interested in their company, among other things. Write down some general questions you've been asked before and prepare some responses - ideally with specific details about your achievements and experience. 
• Make sure you look the part - The way you present yourself is very important during a job interview, so make sure you're dressed appropriately and that you carry yourself with confidence. Look up the dress code for the company if you can and aim for a more professional look if you're not sure. Try to maintain good posture, make eye contact, and smile to show you have a positive attitude.
