1. Know the company
Find out as much as you can about the position, the company and its needs, so you can show how your background meets those needs.

2. Know yourself.
Mentally review the skills and character traits you have that will help the company's bottom line. Think in terms of the value you can add to the position and the company.

3. Know your job history.
Mentally review your past achievements and be prepared to describe your work experience in detail.

4. Know the questions.
You can almost bet on being asked: "Tell me about yourself." Approach this from the employer's point of view. Think of the worst questions you could be asked about your experience and abilities, then prepare positive responses.

5. Prepare questions of your own.
Employers are as interested in your questions as they are in your answers. And they'll react favorably if you ask intelligent questions about the position, the company and the industry.

6. Get the big picture.
Visualize the entire interview, from start to finish.

7. Punctuality.
Do whatever it takes to arrive a few minutes early. If necessary, drive to the company the night before and time yourself. Allow extra time for traffic, parking and slow elevators.

8. Dress.
Your clothing should be appropriate for the position you're seeking.

9. Grooming.
Clean hair and fingernails are essential. Hair should be styled conservatively. Avoid excessive make-up, jewelry or cologne.

10. Handshake.
A firm handshake is appropriate and projects confidence. Make eye contact when you shake.

11. Body language.
Send the right message by standing straight, moving confidently, and sitting slightly forward in your chair.

12. Enthusiasm and eye contact.
Show your enthusiasm by making eye contact and keeping an interested expression. Nod and gesture in moderation; excessive body movement can distract and annoy the interviewer.

13. Listening skills.
Listen carefully and ask questions to probe deeper into what the interviewer is telling you. Most interviewers are delightfully surprised by a question such as, "How could I help you solve the problem you've just described?"

14. Communication skills.
Good grammar and articulate speech are essential.

15. Negative statements about previous jobs or employers.
NEVER make them. Instead, be diplomatic. No matter how bad your last job or boss was, there's probably something good you learned from the experience.

16. It's essential that you write a thank-you note to every person you met at the company.
