Emphasize your "selling points" and reason for wanting the job

Come with examples of your work
3/12
You will likely be asked about specific work achievements in relation to the position. After reviewing the job description, think of work you’ve done well in past jobs, clubs or volunteer positions that highlights your experience and success doing the work they require.
Be prepared to answer common interview questions
4/12
Think about the questions you're most likely to encounter, given your age and status (about to graduate, looking for a summer internship). Prepare your answers so you don’t fumble during the actual interview.
Prepare questions for the interviewer

Come to the interview with some questions for the interviewer that demonstrates your knowledge of the company and your intent. You should have one or two prepared no matter what.
Practice makes perfect

Be on time (aka, early)

Don't worry about sounding "canned"
10/12
Don't worry about sounding "canned" during your interview. If you're well prepared, you'll sound smooth and articulate. On the other hand, if you're not so well prepared, the anxiety of the situation will eliminate any "canned" quality.
