In seriousness...

1) If you have one, wear a proper suit.

2) Have good questions to ask them.

3) Do your research, make sure you know what the company has done and what the company is going to do. Make sure you can tell them how you fit into that.

4) Read the job description and make sure you have a story to tell them that demostrates that you are capable of doing each of the requirements on there.

5) When they ask about your weaknesses, don't tell them you're lazy, socially inept and spend too much time browsing the internet. Instead, mention things in the past that you have learned from and tell them what you did to ensure that these things didn't happen again. Add that you're a fast learner and that you're never afraid to ask questions if you're not sure about something.

6) If your past working experience involves stacking shelves at Tesco or cleaning windows, tell them what you learned from that. There is no such thing as a worthless job when it comes to interviews.

7) Sounds obvious, but don't swear. If you have a habit of swearing mid-f**king-sentence, make sure you think carefully about what you say.

8) Never, EVER answer a question with I Don't Know.

9) No knock-knock jokes.
