Thanks, Sarah. One last thing that came to mind: If there's a given time limit on when interviews take place, and if you have any say about the interview date, schedule it on the last day of interviews, or as close to that as you can get. With some jobs, the employer will interview people over the course of four or more weeks. The later your interview, the more you'll stick out in his/her/their mind, as employers recall people they've met very recently more easily than those they met a month ago. And again, for anyone in the unenviable job-hunting position, write a thank-you letter as soon as you get home, and have it in the mail the next day. Doing so doesn't guarantee you the job, but it raises your odds considerably, and makes getting a second interview a strong possibility. And again, these days, it's very easy to whip off a thank-you email. Putting it on paper and mailing it shows you're really interested and have made some effort (other than turning on your PC) to show so.
