    Good luck Canuk. Just be nice, look nice and give the impression that you are enthusiastic without being over the top. Be a watered down/meeting the girlfriend's parents version of yourself and you will be fine.

    Righto.

    Show off your positives, hide the negatives, be clean, pleasant and interested.

    Good luck.

    Can I just add at this point they WILL ask you something to the effect of...

    "What are your weaknesses?"

    Don't give a bog-standard answer like "I work to much" or "I spend too much time on presentation"... they've heard it all before. Think of something unique but at the same time make sure it's not something like "I tend to steal pens from work now and again". Make sure it's something you can improve on

    The people who give advice to others in this situation are usually the people who shouldn't be listened to.

    If a person has a lot of experience with interviews, it can only mean that they didn't get the job - several times.

    The people who got the job think that they shouldn't give advice because they've only had one or two interviews. However, they're the ones who aced it.

    Catch 22.

    Or maybe these "people" have recruiting experience and are trying to help others avoid the pitfalls of missing out on a possible great job opportunity.

    Think outside the box.

    Hence my use of the word 'usually', nimrod.

    Get a life.
