That is just great.

that is a long time, but things haven't changed in many regards

- wear something you feel good in... dress adequately - but comfortably.

- bring a notepad, pen, and resume. i sometimes write prepnotes for myself on the pad too.

- focus on your strengths, beforehand and during the interview. during the interview put forth those which you think are most relevant to the job. i used to put these thoughts in my prepnotes.

- be honest about your experiences - but careful not to undermine these. think of them as treasures.

- interview them, as well as letting them interview you. This shows you're serious and lets you walk away with more info about the job also. Questions I have asked in the past include: more details on the position (if description murky), compensation package esp. benefits (mental, dental, eye bla bla bla) coverage, bonuses), about professional growth potential (inside promotion), educational subsidies. i put my questions in prepnotes too. definitely ask for details on health coverage.
