Outfr0st: Don't be afraid to say "I don't know/remember, I'd have to check with (resource)"
Outfr0st: Know something about the employer, where they've been and what they've been doing
FreckledFiberworks: Absolutely. I had a phone interview about a month ago and we tackled that part of things, but now I know so much more about what they do and what they care about. :D
Outfr0st: Maybe prepare some questions you'd wanna ask the interviewer(s) when they give you the opportunity, I've heard sometimes being inquisitive about details of the job and the company helps noticeably
Outfr0st: One more I can think of is be prepared to talk about everything on your resume, and connections between those things. In my last interview, I was asked how I combined a skill or useful habit of mine with the last work I'd done which was an internship.
FreckledFiberworks: That's a tough one for me, because I've been a military spouse for the past several years so a lot of my positions aren't in the same industry I'd like to be working in. But this company seems to be willing to give me a chance, and I've done [thing I'm interviewing for] at nearly every job I've ever done, so SeemsGood
Outfr0st: Thank you for your service! It's good that it's the common part of your experience so far. I guess my point was mostly about things not related to, well, unrelated industries, but rather related to the target one, and extras, like general skills you mentioned, languages, etc. :)
