You definitely need to study that website and try to think of some good questions for him. Too bad you couldn't have listed the link.
As chauvinistic as it sounds (and believe me that makes me hate it all the more) - research shows you should wear a dark skirt, light blouse and a jacket. Minimal jewelry and makeup, and don't over do the perfume. As others have suggested, make sure to arrive early and have a couple of resumes ready in case you are sent to speak with more than one person. Make sure everyone that interviews you gets a copy. Try to relax! Make sure that if they ask you to tell them something positive about yourself that you have something ready to say. Things like - I am punctual, reliable and a great team worker - a positive person. You are trying to sell yourself so don't be shy! They will probably ask also what might be a negative attribute that you have. Tell them you something slightly bad (I know you'll have to dig deep
) - and then bring a postive thing into the subject. Like " well, I really like to get things done right no matter what it takes. So sometimes I will work on my own time until the project is just right. " I hope that makes sense to you.
Make sure that you shake hands when you meet and at the end of the interview. Make sure you thank them for the interview and let them know that you are really interested in the position and that you know that you would fit in very well there. Immediately after the interview, send a thank you note (there are plenty of examples on the net). Call them in a day or two and let them know that you were wondering if they had made any decisions yet and that you wanted them to know that you were still really interested.
Best of luck to you - I am sure you will blow them away! Please keep us posted and I hope I didn't go on to long but I just thought I would share.
Take care!
