The best thing to do before an interview is not to stress about it. Maybe a few days before just review what you know and leave it at that. The day before do things that make you feel good...take a warm bath, read a book you like, watch your favorite TV show. The night before you go when you are laying in bed just visualize how it will go and how excited you will be when you come out and know you nailed it! On the way there intend, just lay out how you want it to go. Be yourself. That will impress anyone! Be down to earth and try not to sound to rehersed. Smile a lot and answer their questions the best you can. Some questions will like:
Why do you think you are a good fit for our company? (maybe get on the internet the day before research the company you are interviewing with - drop a little company specific knowledge - like how they treat their employees or something like that)
Tell us about your other jobs (beforehand try to think of how those jobs or training/education will benefit you on this job)
What are your strengths - that should be easy to come up with
What are your weaknesses - (don't say you don't have any to them - think of something before hand like - I'm not good with mechanical things like a copier - something that doesn't mean much for that job)
Where do you see yourself in 5 years (Try not to make this too company specific - maybe something like - I plan to have a job that I love, a place where I can continue to grow in my career and then add whatever family goals you may have - but be brief on those)
If you've had a job they may ask you how you work under pressure - and then follow up with wanting a specific situation where you were under pressure and how you handled it - try to make these two answers coincide - so if you say you deal well with stress then have the story you pick show how well you dealt with it and how efficient you were) They may ask this even if you just got out of school.
ONE THING TO REMEMBER about salary - do not give them numbers first - let them offer you something. Try not to talk about money. A lot of times we undersell ourselves because we speak too soon. Do some reserach on Monster's salary calculator so you are sure about what is reasonable. Don't be afraid to counter offer. If they call you back the first time, they will call again.
Good luck!!! Hope this helps you get this job!

Well, I just had an interview for a similar position two or so weeks ago.
The main thing they look for is for you to act calm and not nervous. They want people who are really dignified.
The way the ask the questions is very intimidating at first, they sort of fire the first question at you, and it's usually one of those questions like "Why do you want to work here?"
They ask as many questions about you as they do about what you like about them.
They have to be selelctive with the people they hire for these positions, because if you mess up on the job they can be held responsible. So really, the best thing you can do to impress them is to just stay as calm as possible, don't let them think that their questions have stumped you, or that you don't know how to answer.
