Find out the nature of the Campus interview.

Companies who do on-campus interviews fall into two categories: Those who have specific positions open and are looking to fill them, or those who are merely collecting more resumes. Unfortunately, it is often impossible to find out before the interview which category the company you are interviewing with falls into.
 
Know the Company before you attend the Interview.

Spend time to learn about the company spend minimum 30 minutes on their web site. If the company is a publicly-traded company, find out its recent news. During the interview, the interviewer would not expect the interviewee to know everything about the company, but the interviewer would expect the interviewee to know the basics of the company, such as the industry the company is in.
 
Be Energetic during Campus Interview

Interviewers, whether they are from HR or from the department you’ll be working, want to recruit people who are energetic. Imagine for yourself: Would you rather have someone who is always on the go or someone who looks sleepy all the time? In addition, if a person does not show much energy during the interview, the interviewer will think, ” if this person cannot get excited about an interview, how is he or she ever going to be excited about the job?”
 
Utilize career fairs at other schools.

Every college’s career center will want to say that it is attracting the best companies to campus. This is simply not possible, as companies have limited recruiting resources, and they will pick and choose only the colleges they feel would produce the most number of qualified candidates. What should you do if the companies you are interested in are not coming to a career fair in your college?
 

-- Learn as much as you can about the company. beforehand - Know its products and services, its profit margin, its management, its culture, its dress code, or anything else you can think of..

-- Practice interviews with a career counsellor, friends, family members or with yourself.. may be in front of mirror.

-- Think about how your experience in work, classes and activites can relate to the job you are seeking.

-- Allow plenty of time to get to the interview and if possible, visit the site in advance so that you can be on time..

-- Plan your interview attire in advance and make sure your clothing is pressed, shoes are shined, and hair as well as nails are well groomed.

-- Bring additional copies of your resume and a list of references.

-- Speak slowly and clearly and dont be afraid to pause for moment to collect you thoughts.

-- Be honest. Dont try to cover up your mistakes. Instead Focus on how you learned from them.
