Here's a little bit from a Marketing person (and an Elon Alum!)

1.Make eye contact with your interviewer when she is asking you a question. If there is a panel of people be sure to include them with your body language.
2. Don't cross your arms in front of your chest, sit on your hands, fidget with your fingers. It makes the focus turn away from what you are saying.
3. You might want to bring a bottle of water with you to sip on. It will keep you from getting all dry and it also will give you a second before you answer a question. However, be sure not to drink out of it while they are asking you a question.
4. Have fun. Don't think of it as a competition, or a life or death experience. You are just going to go have a conversation with someone about something you are interested in. It's ok to laugh at any of their jokes or smile when they smile. All people involved will relax if you show them you are somewhat relaxed.
5. Above all else SMILE!!!! And dress to impress, but don't go over board!!!
