Be Honest

It is so important to be yourself in an interview. Recruiters can see through false pretenses very easily. They can see through a fake personality and they can tell if you are lying about your experiences. Even if you are qualified for the job, being fake in an interview will probably result in your name being taken out of the hat for the job. Let the best parts of your personality shine through in an interview - it's not an interrogation. If you have a great sense of humor make a joke or two, just make sure they are work appropriate and appropriately timed. If you're detail oriented and have a color coded planner let that be known also. These are things that are going to come out once you're in the job anyway and they aren't bad, so why not be up front about it?

Just make sure that you are being work appropriate!

Being honest about your experiences is also of paramount importance. If you lie about your experiences you will almost certainly be immediately disqualified from the interview process. If you make it through in the beginning but your employer finds out you lied about your experience you will likely be dismissed from the job. If your experience doesn't directly line up with the position for which you are applying be honest about it and draw connections from the experience that you do have. Any position that you have had has given you transferrable skills, I guarantee it. If you are yourself and draw connections from your past experiences to the new position you will have a much better chance than if you are fake and lie in your interview.
