+1. Don't fidget. I try to make the person laugh if they don't seem too serious. Don't ever say anything negative about yourself. If they ask, say you tend to overwork yourself or something totally untrue.

Yeah I forgot, be confident. Go in with the mindset that you already are getting the job, and the interview is just a formality

Look at your resume and try to think of something the interviewer would think is a weakness, then think about the answer.
