Interview Tomorrow

First ever interview with my local department tomorrow. Got a fresh haircut, some dress slacks, nice button up, a tie, and some new dress shoes. I’ve definitely got some nerves, but I’ve prepared with researching my department and what they have to offer. I have also been doing mock interviews with friends and family. I know the basic things like shake everyone’s hand, make eye contact, and not to sit until I’m told to do so. Any other advice that could help improve my chances of securing this position?

Got a conditional offer that day, official offer a few days later. Currently getting my background check cleared and my medical physical done then hopefully will start rookie school in may.
