You will encounter a variety of techniques and mannerisms exhibited by different interviewers. Some have had extensive training, others have had none; most are somewhere in between.
In all interviews, you must make a good first impression. Many interviewers are most influenced in their decisions within the first few minutes of the interview. This means arriving on time, being properly dressed and groomed, exhibiting positive non-verbal behavior (firm handshake, good eye contact, smile and confident presence). Even the initial "small talk" conversation is very important. It's difficult to recover from a bad beginning.
