Don’t…

• Don't apply for any and every job available. Focus on the one that aligns with your interests and experience; and if you have experience for one and interest in another express that in your cover letter.
• Don't try and think of an answer when a question is being asked. Listen. Take a moment. Then answer. 
• Don't give the answer that you think people want to hear. Give the one that you feel is the best according to YOU. This helps with alignment: a mutual goal. Also everyone is looking for authenticity. Don't be scared to say ‘I don't know.’

Do…

• Be positive with your entire approach -- body language, tone and expressions are very important.
• Confirm the time and be familiar with the technology you’re using. Then be on time! PR people appreciate good follow-up.
• Be professional and be yourself. When you are yourself in your personal life, your people show up; when you're yourself in your professional life the right opportunities show up.
