Do some heroin, they like relaxed people.
Seriously, clean clothes, good attitude, don't dress up overly, wear what the employees doing what you will be doing are wearing, be calm, not overly excited but let them know you want the job, BE HONEST!
And bring a shotgun.

Clean your fingernails and trim them
Press your clothes
Wear nice shoes
Use a tic-tac
Print your resume on cotton paper - not copy paper
Get a haircut
Shave
Take a shower
Have a firm non-wuss handshake.
Make sure your handshake is dry - not moist.
Speak proper English, enunciate correctly
Use deoderant
Don't use strong aftershave or cologne
Don't ride to the front door on a bicycle, if you bike park it around the side.
Do seem interested.
Do make eye contact.
Do make sure you cleaned the sleep out of your eyes.
Make sure there are no large nose hairs sticking out. . .
Don't tell stupid jokes.
There should be more, but hat will be a good list to get you started

Use your imagination guy. You can still list your skills, your desires, etc on a resume. Emphasize your high school and extra-curricular activities. If you've like system building say so, if you are compentent on Microsoft OS's say so, etc.
Yea a one page SKILL BASED resume (look up skill based resumes on google for example).
As far as clothes, drop buy a radio shack on monday and buy something small. Take note of what the guy/gal in charge is wearing and dress similarly.

Interview for radio shack takes like 5 minutes. They just ask if you are willing to work and sell.
<--- Use to work for radio shack and had a few friends who were store managers.

Erm, i don't know what interviews you go to, but i have never been to one of those interviews, i guess you are just a "special" person applying for "special" jobs?
If the interviewer jokingly says that he wants you to calculate pi to 100 places, don't do it, he's just joking. I had that happen to me once and I think I disturbed the guy a bit when I actually did it and wrote it down for him just in case he wanted to verify it.
i thought about working at Ratshack back when I was in highschool.
They pressure you to sell. So I decided not to go with it.
If you're a good seller, you'll make great commission.

Don't forget to state your enthusiasm and interest in wanting the job.
This was such a basic thing that I forgot to emphasize it during my interviews. (My flat affect and low voice didn't help matters)

Not to the interview but they do ask you to wear khakis and collared shirt to work but it doesn't hurt to wear the same to the interview.
Didn't enjoy the job too much, but if you work at a good store you can be making a lot in spiffs.
Pay is not good as well, they pay you minimum wage unless you can make over your wage in comission.
Spiffs are items that you sell and get money for. Such as cell phones, for everyone you sell, you get 15 - 20 dollars (depending on the seasons).
"They give me extra money when I convince someone to buy something they don't necessarily want or need? Sweet!"
Sorry... I just hate salesmen.
