Went to an interview yesterday with VisitScotland.com in Livingston; they're looking for a graduate to work for them for 12 months, with a possibility of a permanent job at the end of it. It's Web/Java development, so right up my street.
Amazingly, I did well at the interview! I think it helped that there were only two people interviewing, and that they were friendly and informal. Amusingly, one of them had just come back from the dentist (gaining a numb mouth in the process), and so was in perhaps a more embarassing situation than I was.
I was in fact rather chatty, setting off on various asides, which helped stop me getting nervous, as well as breaking the ice a little. I also managed to show off my Conway's Game of Life simulation which I'd programmed on my mobile phone — I think that impressed them! I think I have a fairly good chance of being invited back for second interview. 8^)
