Look clean, well groomed, dress nice. Eye-contact, firm handshake, firm tone of voice. Do not fidget or play with your hands, pants or the chair. Take some time to think about your answers to their questions. Ask them questions, for example : What do they like about the place? How long have they been there? What would they change about the place?

And finally be ready to share your weaknesses and strengths. A good weakness to use is that your a perfectionist and that you sometimes may focus to much on a certain task until it's perfect.

Being yourself doesn't cut it for job interviews. You have to give the impression that you're an intelligent, command following, robot that is independent and will do what is told of them.

Anyways, dress well, look fresh and most importantly SMILE during the whole thing!!! Don't stutter, don't fidget (aka tap your leg or play with your hands like I did in my first interview), don't be an idiot (aka don't say something stupid), and just be cool and calm. There's no need to be nervous (or upset for that matter).

Also, make a resume and print it at a local FedEx Kinkos with resume paper. The manager won't look at the resume in terms of what you actually did, but the fact that you took the initiative to actually make a decent looking one. (srsly this really increases your chances.) Put anything on the resume ranging from volunteer hours, to any sports teams you've played on, to any awards you've won (honor roll, etc.)

True. It is a self comforting technique. But it's best to only be yourself mentally, rather than physically. At least until you're hired Happy
