Good one mate,
Appearance; as you say you've got the clothes- I always look at shoes when an applicant first enters the interview room, a good suit can be ruined by unpolished shoes.
Attitude: be confident in yourself and your abilities, you need to sell yourself. But don't be arrogant- don't give off the vibe that the interviewer should thank you for turning up. Don't um or errr, if a question is asked give an answer, if it's something you know nothing about don't try and bluff it be honest, but cover it with a willing to learn attitude. Know your CV front and back and also be prepared to answer questions such as "What would you do if...?" they are not designed to trick you, but to test whether you can think out of the box and test problem solving abilities. If there is a test before the interview don't let it get you flustered, keep calm and do your best. Be early, and when you wait sit in a relaxed, but not slouching fashion- when I was interviewing I always looked at canidiates sitting in the waiting area to size up their attitude as they waited. Call the interviewer Sir or Ma'am until told otherwise, or use their surname.
Good luck with the interview.
