As an individual that has interviewed several people myself, I suggest a few pointers which have'nt been mentioned:
If the interviewer asks you to name some of your strengths and weaknesses make sure that the strengths you name are truly strengths that you possess...I remember asking one person telling me that his strength was organization and strong attention to detail (yet I counted 3 spelling errors in his resume).
If you are asked questions in reference to your weaknesses always talk about things that can be viewed as a strength...
For example, say things like:
"I am somewhat of a workaholic!", "I pay a little too much attention to detail!", "I sometimes expect too much out of my fellow co-workers!"......(you'll never hear an employer say, "Damn, that Barre Baby works to hard...he makes all my other employees look bad.) Get the job first, then let them find out if you have weaknesses.
BTW, never say that you do not have any weaknesses, this portrays arrogance and dodging of the question...
I had one guy tell me he had no weaknesses, I then told him that even Superman was vulnerable to Kryptonite.....he then continued to say that he had none.
This was the same guy with the 3 spelling errors too.
But my best advice to you is to purchase a book called "Knock Em Dead" it can be found at any bookstore or Office Depot or Kinko's it costs about 20.00 and has several interview questions used by fortune 500 companies. I use it as well, and it also tells you what your response means to the interviewer. It even tells you how to dress for the interview.
GOOD LUCK PLAYA !!!!!!
