Dress appropriately. "You are addressed by how you are dressed". No matter how informal you think your role may be, or even how laid back the company culture may be, it's essential to dress to kill. After accepting the job, you can consider displaying all your funky dresses and hairstyles.

Language and body gestures matter, be diplomatic. As said before, an interview is meant to assess you outside your CV, meaning everything counts.
