Have questions prepared.
Do not bring up any topic unless you are prepared for a full in depth discussion of the subject.
If you list something as a hobby, you better know it like the back of your hand.

Be honest. Don't hedge or cover up.
Be positive. Turn weaknesses into strengths where possible.
Be Accurate.
Think before you speak. Don't give the impression that the answer is rehearsed.
Don't ramble. Give enough information to answer the question and them wait. Don't let silence get to you.
