Yes, you need a suit. Navy or Charcoal would be appropriate. Get a conservative tie to go with it. Do not go to a department store, go to a mens wear store.

As for the interview; remember, you are essentially selling yourself to the potential employer. You want to show your qualities and minimize your deficiencies. Make sure you project confidence. Speak assertively, make eye contact, minimize the "ums" and "ahs." When asked a question take a second to organize your thoughts rather then rambling. Whenever appropriate use a relavent example from your past experience to illustrate your answer. You'll be given an opportunity to ask questions; have some ready... many employers are just as interested in the quality of questions you ask them as they are in your answers to their questions. Good luck!

Indeed but at least now you're not a a mere pawn, risking your life to be used by rich white guys in washington/new york/etc for their own selfish gains.

Every single word this man spoke is true. Heed his words.

Serious advice that has always worked for me: Put a HUGE fakeass smile on your face for the first 1-2 minutes of the interview. First impression is 90% of the decision-making process. Even if there is nothing much to smile about, force yourself to do it.. If someone believes you are genuinely happy to see them, they will be genuinely happy to see you.. That's the reason people love dogs so much. Your dog is always excited and happy to see you when you get home, so naturally love the little bastard right back. It's basic human psychology and the same "happy greeting" principle works on other humans. Just don't overdo it or they may think you are retarded.
