You must always be prepared when you walk into an interview and act appropriately. If you are to come in unprepared you might as well just walk right back out because no one wants to hire someone who can't handle something as simple as an interview. I however am going to tell you exactly how to prepare for a job interview.
* You want to reassess yourself in your skills and talents, especially if you have not worked for quite some time. You want to build up on the positive things and go in with a good attitude
* You absolutely have to have your resume in hand in fact a few copies with you would be the best thing to do. If you do not have any experience meaning you don't have a resume then be sure to bring in character references. The character references should be typed up and you should have at least 3 but no more than 5.
* If you take your cell phone/pager in with you be sure and turn it off. It is an even better idea to not even take it in with you.
Those are the things that I believe will help you be more prepared going into an interview. With a positive attitude, resume/character references in hand, and no obnoxious cell phone interruptions you have a much higher possibility in getting the job. Even if you don't you can reflect on the interview and figure out what you can fix for your next interview.
