Ding Ding Ding -
I don't care what kind of job you are interviewing for. A thank you note, personalized (if you aren't sure how to spell their name, find out), thanking the interviewer for their time to meet with you and discuss the job.

-----------------------------
This is gonna make me sound like a curmudgeon - but unless you are interviewing at MTV - dress conservatively.

Tuck in the shirt, shoes shined is a nice touch, clothes cleaned and pressed, whatever you have pierced, I really don't want to see it (depends on the environment)
.

EYE CONTACT when talking.

Firm hand shake - and this can be a little ackward.

Ask questions - and not just about salary and benefits-- as an interviewer, I know I didn't cover everything that you want to know, I can't read your mind, Asking questions shows me you cared enough to pay atttention, and you are interested enough in the job to find out more.

Show up for the interview a little early - you will probably be asked to fill out a job application first - -give yourself time for that. ( I have declined interviews with people who were fine candidates but showed up late without calling)
