Always smile
End every answer on a positive note
Ask questions at the end when they ask you if you have any questions. It shows that your interested in the post and they like intitiative. Something like, what benefits are available to me such as pension plans holidays etc, or ask why the postition is available and why was it created.
Dont be afraid to discuss your weeknesses and pet hates when asked just end up saying how you spotted your problems and how you resolved the issue in the workplace.
Most important BE YOURSELF!!!
Ive just read an article from a professional engineering magazine in uni about impressing at interviews. These were the main pointers.

Personally I wouldn't recommend asking about holidays / pay etc. at a first interview. You could ask if there are opportunities for promotion or what training you will get.
I was once told by a Co. Director that an interviewer has usually already decided whether they want you or not before the part about asking questions so they aren't all that important. Its always best to have a couple ready though!
Go through the job description and think of possible questions that they could ask relating to that and prepare answers. For example, if one part of the job description asks for someone with the ability to work under pressure, think of an example where you have done this in the past as they are likely to ask you about it.
Good luck and let us know how you get on!
