Too funny, I've just had a successful one so I'll add:

. Be punctual

. Be polite

. Be yourself

. Don't be square

Oh, but don't be yourself if you are rude and always late.

- Laughing is generally bad unless the interviewers joke
contains sexual innuendo, in which case laughter will help
you because it will make the interviewer feel like less of a
pervert by making it seem like you are equally perverted.

I've just had an interview to become part of the intranet
development team at a blue-chip company. its ok money and
would be a good start for me because since getting my degree
last year ive been temping.

in this time though ive realised that no matter what the
money, working in an office sucks and so i want to do
photography professionally eventually.

anyway, after the interview they gave me some positive
feedback and want to see me again next week..

um, you applied for a job where the interviewer was a
pervert, and you had to pretend to be a pervert too? what
the heck kind of job was this?

if i had ever 'been myself' for an interview i would never
have been employed. i always bend the truth (without lying)
and ass kiss.

I have never been in an interview where the interviewer made
a perverse joke. I am merely saying that if you are in such
a situation, laugh.

should i rub my hands together as i laugh, or would that be
too much?

Here's another tip:

. Don't heed advice from message boards.

When asked what your biggest fault/weakness is reply by
saying:

"I work too hard and tend to get too focused on one thing. I
know I need to learn to multi task more and I like to take
my cloths off and dance on my desk, I hit people all the
time, sometimes I get mad and smash stuff up and then shit
on top of whatever I have broken."

depends on the job. i know people who have gotten jobs for
acting like total dickheads, and the interviewer thought
they were great.

don't go to the interview with loads of chewed up biscuits
in your mouth

And never under any circumstances take out your penis and do
"the hellicopter" . It is not good job interview etiquette
and generaly frowned upon.
