Body language > remember dont play with your pen - dont cross your arms. Also, if you sit slightly away from the table (if table), put your chair at about 45 degrees in order to have an open angle towards the table and the boss (if that makes sense)...it works....believe me....
- A pen in an interview?uncle_helv

- I would just keep a pen and pad in my bagDancer

relax. they will expect you to be nervous but be yourself, apart from looking at your work they will also be looking at how you well you would fit into their current team so be friendly, open and fun.
Research the company you're going to see, look at their website, ask questions about projects, people, company structure, your role if you were to join, be inquisitive.
Good luck!

The 1st question you ask should be.
"what time does a typical day finish?"
- Alpesh0
2nd question should be...
"Will I get paid overtime?"
- MrMackem0
3rd question should be...
"In uni we got 6 weeks to do a logo...it's the same here right?"

Know as much information about the company as possible and ask them where they see themselves in 5 years time if you ask you that question.

Ask questions, but don't talk too much, nothing worse then some guy just going on and on...

Don't let them keep any of your work. Ask about staff turnover and growth in the last 5 years
