Ask questions about the company.
(Ask questions but make sure they are relevant)

.....
Have a last pitch on why you want the job to help leave a lasting memory in the interviewers head.

....
Remember to:
Be on time
Appear positive
Offer your C.V.
Dress appropriately (check their website for ideas whether they are smart, laidback etc.)
End the interview by asking: “is there anything else you would like to know?”
“ I look forward to hearing from you”
You could even email them to say thank you and re-emphasis your interest in the role.

They also offer this advice:
Make your C.V. professional looking but individual. Check to make sure it is grammatically correct.
Keep cover letters KISS- (keep it short and sweet!) Make sure it is personal to the company you are applying to; relevant and show your interest.
