Nice slacks and a dress shirt

What you say depends on what he asks you. Don't say more than he asks you to or else you might say something he doesn't want to hear.

Wear a suit, bring multiple copies of your resume, research the job and the company beforehand. It would be nice to have a small folder/portfolio so you can take some notes if you need to. Cut your hair, shave, shower, wear dark socks.

wear some old ripped jeans, and a Led Zepplin T-shirt, you'll get hired once he see's you ;)



jk, I wouldn't wear a suit though, wear some slacks and a nice button shirt and thats it. Remember, lots of eye contact, and NEVER EVER put your hands in your pocket, or cross your arms. Those are a big no no. Just be cool, listen, answer, and lots of eye contact. Good luck, nate!

try not to sit there and just answer quesitons. Have some questions of your own to ask them. even if you already know the answers, just do it to make the impression that you want to learn more, and are actively working to get the job. Also do what you can to give the impression you are eager to work for them, and like a job that keeps you busy.

Just dont be so eager and excited that you take the model cars off his desk and set them on fire. "Now let's see what happens when we use 'The other guy's brakepads'" hehehehe I love that movie. Anyone know what I'm talkin about?

what ragingbitch said.

don't wear anything flashy. go with solid shirt, and if you're gonna wear a tie, solid color is best

it all depends on the job you're interning for. i would at the very least... go in a shirt (not tee shirt), tie, slacks, socks, shoes. cut your fingernails, cut your hair, take a shower, shave... try to get there at least 15 minutes early.

you see, him, smile, give him a firm handshake while looking at him (face).

when you are there, sit attentively, don't slouch. make eye contact, but don't stare him down or something, when he asks a question, just answer it, don't ramble on and on.

give him a firm handshake while looking at him (face). thank him for his time. ask him how to proceed from there and remember to ask for a business card of his.

send a thank you note to him (email or snail) two to three days after the interview.

good luck dude!
keep in mind that this is the way i do it, with a suit, you don't need to follow everything i do though.
