  • Dress casual or professional.
  • Don't ask questions that are irrelevant to the job or organization.
  • Relax and smile.
  • Ask questions the interviewer can answer.

  • Go in prepared. Do your background research through the Internet or newspaper about the company, or information on their products, services or the person you are meeting with.
