"Tips for Job Interview?"

Well as my other job as classroom assistant has come to a close i've decided to apply for a sales and marketing job (the PR stuff you see at big conventions with all the different stands and stuff, not the annoying telesales people before you start throwing stuff at me :D) and i've been called back for an interview tomorrow for the day where i'll be put to the test to see how i do.
Now as i haven't actually had experience of this type of thing before (i got my other job thanks to knowing some people higher up) i was wondering are there any things i should/shouldn't do tomorrow? And not too obvious please some serious advice would be very much appreciated.

Now i just got to search around and find my suit, which i hope still fits me.

Wear a mini-skirt and a skimpy tight top.

What?!?

It worked for me...

That would be a sign you were lying.

i see one problem. the company could have anticipated this and created a contract for 1p an hour. if you dont ask how do you know what youre getting.

great list of advice to all though. do you interview people per chance?

Good luck to you as well DebUK but if you're going for the same job i am then *wishes bad thoughts* it's mine, hands off :D

I have an interview for a job in sales/marketing tommorrow too! It is PR for a company where you travel around promoting stuff (£60-100 a day apparantly!)

Good luck

(Now please wish me good luck too. Thankyou please.)

Make sure you don't swat at invisible flies, or hum tunes to yourself as they ask you questions before replying with "oh yes I 've done that. Can I ask, how long have you been a transexual?"
And don't throw up on your new employers.

Dont sound nervous. If you start getting a jittery voice clear your throat and harden your resolve.

Keep your replies focused on serving the cutomer and customer service, worked for me in the two part time ones I've had.

Oooh good job you told me about that because i was going to ask about money. Well better scratch that question off the list.

I meant they might see your hands shaking because of nerves.
