I suppose it depends upon the questions asked. If you knew the questions in advance, maybe you could formulate better answers. Of course, that could also lead to you shooting yourself in the foot by over-thinking the questions as well.

In general, answer honestly. Interviewers know the standard 'tricks' that interviewees usually use, e.g. "What is your greatest weakness?" "I'm a workaholic."

Those types of answers are a sure way to fail an interview quickly.

Another important tip is to always arrive at the interview with questions of your own about the company and/or the position. This shows that you have taken the time to research the company and therefore gives the impression that you actually *care* about the position. With the ease of access to data (Google, etc.) today, there's no excuse not to know a bit about the company before you go in to the interview.

It is also worth noting that many interviewers (or their secretaries) will actually provide the questions that will be asked at the interview (or at least an overview of them) if asked, especially if asked by someone with a valid reason for asking (e.g., a university career counselor.)

If you have access to someone of this type, it never hurts to ask that person to call (never email!) the company's HR department and request the interview questions (or "practice"/"example" questions, as they're usually nearly identical to the actual questions) to allow the counselor to assist their students in preparing for future job interviews. A polite, professional inquiry usually returns positive results, and the worst-case scenario is a polite refusal on the company's part.

Finally, relax. Remember that it's not the end of the world if you don't get the job, and that you wouldn't be in the interview if the company didn't alredy see something in you that they liked!

Good luck!
