As someone who has interviewed techs in my time, I can tell you that what the employer wants more than anything is to see YOU. Don't treat employers like idiots. They can smell the stink of a massaged CV/Resume a mile off. They can equally tell if the person on the other side of the interview table is attempting to stick to a polished script. The best thing you can do for yourself is be YOU. The employer wants to see the real person. The person that will be expected to work with their colleagues, customers and suppliers. They want to see the same person today that they will see a year later in the work environment, not some Jekyll & Hyde double personality. The last thing the interviewer wants is a polished turd, i.e. someone who interviews well and then is utterly useless in the job because they are incapable of working with others or don't have the skills they promised.
