Checklist after getting a call for an interview

This one is generic but useful:

1. Send 'Thank you' email or call, confirm the appointment details.
2. Research the organization by reading up its website, articles about it, talking to someone on the inside or someone who knows about the field.
3. Review list of commonly asked questions in interviews. This is kind of baseline preparation. The actual interview will likely be more of a conversation.
4. Create list of possible questions they could ask specific to the organization or project.
5. Jot down points, stories, skills you'd like the interviewer to remember about you long after your interview is over.
6. Record your answers as if you're speaking to the interviewer. No memorization. Hear yourself speak. You'll get a good sense of how you come across.
7. Very important - prepare list of questions to ask the interviewer(s). Genuine ones about them and their organization. You're bound to have some if you've done point no. 2
8. Get interview clothes ready.
9. Figure out transport for the day of the interview. Don't skimp on money here. Get there before time.
10. Keep breath mints with you.
11. Look up contacts in the organization. Speak to them, express interest. Most people like being asked. Some are pricks. Ask them anyway.
12. After interview, send thank you mail, ask if they want references (if they haven't already asked in the interview).
13. Knowing your stuff well and being able to talk about your resume will help in giving you the confidence to speak up. Remember that.
14. Make sure your zip is closed before going into the interview room.
