not shades, reactalite lenses in my always worn glasses..
If the interview is a competancy based type - then google for tips. Try and couple what you know with what the company does and add any annecdotal evidence of occasions when you have completed a similar if not same task.
Remember to breathe and good luck

Good luck on Tuesday mate. Not sure if this might help, but might be worth a try.

Go smart, doesn't have to be a suit, you'll feel maybe a tad uncomfortable if a little overdressed, but very uncomfortable if (what ever the oppostite of overdressed is, (why isn't it underdressed??) Reactorlites, make sure they are clear when meeting for the initial greeting, hidden eyes a big no no. Firm (not crushing) handshake, clear (not booming) greeting. Do a bit of research on the company usually easy if they have a website. Ask a few decent questions, don't mention pay, or when do I start?
I always arrive a bit early, if need be you can always get a coffee or whatever to kill a bit of time, there is nothing worse than getting flustered thinking you may be late for an interview. Finally of course, best of luck!

If you're offered a drink beforehand, take it. If you think the interview might be a long drawn out affair, take a bottle of water too. Not pop. Water looks more profesional. Sounds daft but true.
My last interview I had a cup of tea made by the interviewer beforehand, and halfway through i wanted another one, my mouth was dry.

Just a quickie. The most important part of any interview is the first impression and the interviewers' have usually already made their minds up within the first 60 seconds.
In my last interview I quickly connected with two of the three firing squad using a 'relevent to the question' safe joke. (More luck than judgement though, I confess. They could have been straight-laced).
Not that you’re there to do comedy of course but it is a kind of stage act and just like any stage act the ‘audience' will either warm to you or not in that golden minute.
Good luck GolJack.

PS. There were six other candidates and I was the only one without a degree
PPS. Interviews are a bit like forums; you can tell if you’re going to be liked after the first few posts.
Goodbye!.........

Alledgedly a first impression takes just 30 seconds.
Point being you don't get a second chance to make that first impression.
