Hey All,
I wanted to compile all tips for conducting interviews, whether it be pre-interview preparation, or post-interview inquiries, or interview tips. If you have something to suggest, like what to bring, or what kind of questions to ask, or how to do the thank-you note at the end, or what to say when asked this or that, or whatever, just post it here.

4. Don't be afraid to admit when you do not know something.
5. Don't bring up controversial topics unnecessarily -- that's just playing with fire.
