Know what you want to do. If this interview is for an internship or an entry-level position, they know your dream isn’t to be a receptionist or to show The Price is Right audience where the bathrooms are. But knowing exactly what you want to do and being confident of your ability to work hard and get there is an appealing and memorable quality. Also, have stock answers at the ready for all those typical interview questions, like “What’s your biggest weakness?” and “Have you ever left a job before?” or whatever. Don’t be cliched, but don’t be too brutally honest either if you know that’s not what they want to hear.
