I'm no expert at taking interviews but have blown my fair share of them. One of my worst was when I was called by a head hunter to interview for a position I applied for 2 years before. I also may have embellished my resume a bit when I applied, then 2 years later I was sitting infront of 3 people all reading my resume and me not knowing what the heck I put in the thing. So yeah thats an important one, when they say that your application will be kept on file, sometimes they do, so best to be honest. Another time I guess I was nervous or maybe a bit under the weather but for some reason I started sweating profusely, unfortunately that day I was also wearing a silk shirt and before the interview even started I had huge pit stains, my hair was a mess and I looked like I just came off a three day bender. The interviewer was nice and didn't bring it up but I know I made a terrible impression. So I would say put some time and thought into your personal grooming and apperence. I would also say it is important that you have answers ready for the most common questions that you know they are going to ask. Eg. So you say you have been with your company for 3 years, why do you want to leave? Probably best not to say, I just dont feel like im growing or learning much anymore (even if thats true, Im sure you can come up with a better way to put it that is both true and positive!) Eg. I have learned and grown a lot working for xyz and have enjoyed working for them but I feel your company is offering me a great opportunity to showcase and build upon my skills and past experiences. Doing well in an interview comes down to self confidence, chances are you would be a great employee that most companies would be lucky to have. Just keep telling yourself that, having hired many people myself I can tell you that if you can do what your asked to do without arguing, show up on time and get along with your co-workers, then you are already in the top 90% of all candidates, so keep your chin up and You will do fine on the next interview! Finally if you have been told you rambled or that you talked too fast, a lawyer once told me to count to 5 in my head before answering any question. Sometimes when you are nervous giving yourself a short pause before opening your mouth can be just what is needed. Good luck!
