Got a job interview!

So, last night I found out I have my first ever job interview at sports direct on the 25th of March.

Basically, what should I do?!?

Be confident and don't oversell yourself. And google job interview tips.
Be dressed in an appropriate dress for the company and job. Never dress less than a business casual which is a minimum of dress pants, nice shoes (no tennis shoes/skate shoes), a button up shirt or polo, and well groomed.
Know the company a bit. Do research as to what they do, their history, etc. Don't try to force your knowledge on the interviewer, but more base knowledge is always good and gives you a base about the company.

Ohhh good luck you little shit ^_^

Just as TimeLords said, be as confident as you possibly can. What I do for interviews is think of possible questions that I might be asked (like why you want the job, what motivates you, what type of experience you have etc) and then go through a scripted response in my head. I'm almost 100% certain that by doing that, I did very well in my interview for a uni degree and got an offer. If you know anyone that has/had a job there recently, it might be a good idea to ask them what sort of questions were asked by the interviewer(s).

Best of luck, mister S!co! :D
