Make a Professional First Impression

Making a positive first impression is of paramount importance in an interview situation, but there are quite a few other considerations to take into account, both before and after the interview, to send the message that you are a professional.  Check out this article "Five Ways to Say I'm Unprofessional," and examine its message.  Remember that little things like your voicemail message, your email address, and failing to send a thank you note do make an impression, just as much as the bigger ones like mistakes in your resume/cover letter or winging it in the interview.  Even if you're not making these mistakes, the article can help to get you thinking and raise your awareness about making a positive, professional first impression, and that could be the difference in getting the job!
