    adding on to what everyone else said:
    Be truthful/answer honestly
    be calm and collected
    write down your strengths and weaknesses on paper and ask yourself what you're doing to improve in both categories. Have the answer prepared for tom.
    research your workplace and get to know their purpose, know what they stand for what they provide.
    dress appropriately but not too fancy

    Don't be cocky
    don't ask about the pay, but if they ask how much give them a range.
    address them by Mr or Ms so and so never by first name.

    Dont wear clothes
    act very awkward they seem to like that
    sexual harrasment works also
    do not shake their hand they see it as a weakness

    I passed my last job interview thanks to the advice in the following series of pics. It's golden if you follow it well.

    sometimes you're in a position where you need something desperately, but remember that even then you can use an interview as a tool to feel out whether it's a company you'd like to work for. i didn't have many "real jobs" in my life, but the ones that were subpar environments were ones where i felt that in my gut from the first day.

    Job interviews are like first dates. You get dressed up, pretend you're somebody you're not, and you're most likely not gonna get anything when it's over.

    Building off of this, you should also remember that, even if you don't get the job, each interview is still a good experience and makes you exponentially more confident for your next one. Nowhere is going to waste their time interviewing you in the first place if they don't think you're qualified, so don't take it as a failure if you don't get the job. Just getting the interview means they already think there's a possibility they're going to hire you.

    I know you already got the job but I figured I'd add to this. Congrats!
