    Great advice - one other thing to add, after the interview, send a thank you note to the interviewers and receptionist! I know it may sound corny, but it's a great idea because a) it'll bring you back into their thoughts, b) it shows you have good 'people skills' and c) if you've fluffed one of the questions, you can say "I don't feel I gave the best answer to the question regarding XXX that I could have done;" and then answer more fully. I did this after my last interview and I think it definitely helped :)

    Good luck!

    No offence, but I'd probably disagree with this. Then again, if it worked for you and you got the job, then well done. I just think it looks a bit too much.
