If it helps, try to think about what you might say without sounded too scripted.

Create A More Detailed Resume To Hand Out

Although your potential employers and/or the college will have already seen a copy of your resume, you may want to consider creating a more detailed version that you can hand out. Whether this included further details about your employment history or it has a detailed GPA on there, you need to ensure you’re giving your interviewers all the information they need.

Prepare Questions To Ask After The Interview Is Over

Another great way to nail an interview is to prepare questions to ask once your interview is over. At the end of an interview, you will always be asked whether there is anything you want to know and it always helps to have a couple of questions lined up to show your interest. 

Relax And Answer Questions As Honestly As You Can 

Finally, you need to ensure you’re being as relaxed as you possibly can. Interviews can be incredibly stressful and if you’re not relaxed, chances are you’re not going to be on top form.
