Just be yourself. Act normal. Don't figet(move around) sit calmly with hands in lap.Don't fold your arms(that' makes you look mad or unhappy) Smile and talk to the person,make eye contact. Ask when the position will be filled, If they don't tell you ask about the rate of pay. Or pay scale. Ask what the hours would be.What would be expected of you,say before,during parties.etc...thank the person for the interview and don't be afraid to ask them when you would know if you got the job..the more questions the better..They remember you and they like a person who is knowledgeble enough to make conversation. Smile and act boncey yourself. I would want to hire someone like that. good luck! Answered By: texasirishrose - 7/27/2009

Since it is very hard to predict the exact questions that an interviewer will ask, but your recruiter should be able to give you a good idea of the hiring authority’s personality, his or her typical interview demeanor and a few important questions that the employer is likely to ask. To prepare, think about how you would answer the following questions: “Tell me about yourself.” Keep your answer professional. Review your past positions, your education and any other strengths that pertain to the job. “What do you know about our organization?” If you’ve done your research correctly, you should have no problem answering this one. Be positive, never criticize. “What is your greatest weakness?” I would say my greatest weakness has been my lack of proper planning in the past. I would over commit myself with too many variant tasks, then not be able to fully accomplish each as I would like. However, since I’ve come to recognize that weakness, I’ve taken steps to correct it. For example, I now carry a planning calendar in my pocket so that I can plan all of my appointments and “to do” items.
