2. Have an understanding of the job requirements.
3. Arrive early.
4. Dress professionally.
5. Know how you can become a valuable asset to the organization

8. Be friendly but businesslike. Try to appear somewhat relaxed rather than rigid.
9. Sit up straight, listen attentively, and make eye contact.
