Interview Advice

<p>I haven’t seen any threads about interviews, but if there are then I apologize if this is redundant.</p>

<p>I’m scheduled to have an interview and I was wondering if anyone had any advice for what interviewers seem to look for. I really just don’t want to look fake, but I don’t want to look unimpressive. </p>

<p>Since my interviewer is the father of a casual friend, would it be to my advantage or could it be seen as “sucking up” if I mention this friend?</p>
