You can ensure that your in-person interview will be successful if you take these steps in advance: 1) Research the company thoroughly at their website, include products and customers, 2) Use your network to find out any valuable off-the-record information about the culture, the “positives & negatives, 3) Plan your route–GPS entry; if in doubt, do a test drive ahead of time, 4) Customize your portfolio based on job description and product, 5) Allow ample time–best to leave early and relax; arriving late is a catalyst for a cascade of mishaps.
