All these things are correct. Posture is important, eye contact is important, being positive is important. One thing always helps a lot: don't be passive. Don't wait for someone to tell you stuff, especially in a job interview; take the initiative. Ask what's going to happen next. Be interested in everything and ask questions. If you want to be a tease, pop (widen) your eyes a little bit at people when you turn to meet them for the first time (smile, too). It's the "I find you fascinating" look. Everybody reacts to it, subconsciously, and they'll have the urge to like you.

Staying relaxed is part of it -- but remember, you ain't relaxed if your jaw is clenched. Keep it relaxed.
