Always have a question or two to ask them prepared. Do your research about their company, all companies love people who know something about them beforehand. The goal is to sell yourself to them, the key is proving to them that you want to work for them, and you're not just looking for something to keep you above the poverty line.

NYIntensity. Can you tell me the name of the company. I have a hunch you may be taking the job of someone I know who just left his because he got a job offer for more money. Has the same job description :)

Sent via PM.

The company's pretty big, and I've got a friend that works for them who's never had anything but good things to say about 'em.

Agreed, really think of some good questions to ask them, especially about their future product line (or whatever it is they do) to show you really know who they are and what they do. PLUS, if your interviewer is the type to ramble on a bit, if they answer your questions they might keep talking and give you more info about what exactly it is they're looking for, which could help you answer subsequent questions more...favorably.

Good luck dude! I see good things in the future, the sabres getting out of this losing streak, and you not being an unemployed bum!

Just talked to my friend, he didn't work for where you're applying. Too many companies here in DC have three letter acronyms and it got confusing.. lol.

lol, I didn't think so. They do a lot of contracting with the Gov't, but from what I can tell, the majority of it is down south.
