RL Advice?

Hi guys, so I got a call today that I would go in for two interviews on Tuesday for a summer internship. Its not my dream job because its more the business side of a healthcare and medical equipment firm, and they haven't done anything new in years. Even so, what tips do you have when going to a job interview?

I have to call to confirm tomorrow because I feel like someone steamed my head up and I feel and sound horrible. I am never, ever, ever going to sleep with wet hair late at night ever, ever, ever again. I can't go out at weekends because I've been getting sick in the late afternoon after doing stuff consecutively. I don't have time to be sick. ;__;

Anyways, since I have a headache I'm listening to soothing songs by DJ Okawari, who is a genius.

All I can really say is to go in and be professional, dress nicely. If you're still ill just apologize for the way you sound and say you've been so. Tell them about yourself and what you'd like to achieve. Maybe the company hasn't done anything new in a few years, but hey, maybe you could be the one to change that. Don't forget to bring a resume and to show up on time and don't be nervous because you'll be fine. <3

Be charming and smile a lot, but not too much without looking like a serial killer.

oh, and have a good handshake, very firm!

Do research about the company ahead of time. Ask questions about them -- make it obvious that you are not going in clueless, and that you are interested and well-informed!
