Most importantly, sell yourself on the way out. Shake his hand look him in the eye and say something to the effect of "I'm excited about this opportunity, I know I'd be a great fit and I look forward to the opportunity to work with you. When can I expect to hear from you"?... or something like that. If he asks a question that stumps you say, "that's a great question"... this buys you some time to think and then answer the question in a way that allows you to focus on something you had wished he's asked. Bill Clinton famously said, "I always answered the question I wished I'd been asked". -Guy always seemed pretty cool under pressure, didn't he?! Be assertive! On a personal note when speaking, slow down your pace and ask questions. Don't be nervous. You've got this! You're mother-effing-insomniasexx! [edit] -Go in to this with the mindset that you're well qualified and they'd be lucky to have you. Confidence is king. Also, don't ever say anything negative about a former position, boss, project etc. Pretty much zero negativity. -You don't strike me as someone that this needs to be pointed out to though, but just in case.
