-NEVER chew gum while in an interview.

-Do not cross your arms, simply place your hands in your lap with ease.

-Turn your cell phone off.

-Do not show up with soda or coffee in your hand.

-If you have tattoos keep them covered (unless otherwise stated in the dress code of the company)

-Bring a breath mint and use it before entering the building.

-Remain standing until your interviewer asks you to be seated.
