well my suggestion is just be calm, look smart, make eye contact, prepare a list of questions because the interviewer always asks if you have any questions.
good luck

Don't shit on the table. They won't think it's funny, or that you're a right character and would be a great addition to the team.....

Wear shades, and tell them that behind the shades, there are no eyes, just another pair of fists ready to knock out crooks

Don't lie in an interview. If they give you the job and find out later you lied you will be out of there faster than a porsche on the Autobahn.
A risky choice instead might be to be open with them about it, but as I say, it is a risk. Could make or break the deal.
Anyway, whatever you choose, turn up smart. Really make the effort; polish shoes, perhaps have a haircut beforehand. If you turn up scruffy the interviewers will think you're not really bothered about the job.
Questions I have asked in interviews in the past have been:
1) What progression opportunities are there from my current role in this company.
2) If you were to offer me the job, what would my main duties be
A good one also is:
3) What are the main qualities you are looking for to fill this role
You can then use this answer to spout off about how you fulfill those qualities, in case you haven't really got across the right message earlier in the interview.
Good luck!
