  3. How well you're dressed, firm handshake, experience in the field of work you are being interviewed for, and things like that.

  4. Show your experience of other jobs, or interning jobs, show much respect for the person, be on time for the interview, dress nice for the interview, and thank them for doing the interview.

  8. Some ways you can stand out from others:
    Dress nicely, be punctual, be respectful, make eye contact and give a strong handshake (basically, positive body language), have confidence (but not cockiness), have a good attitude.

  10. Dressing for the job you want, not the job you have. Being kind and energetic and encouraging to the people around you. Working hard, not complaining...being confident. Being early to the interview or job. There are many ways to "stand out" in a good way.
