DD: Only the usual. Dress for success. Suit with severe skirt. 
Moderate high heels. {Males same sort of advice, but dump the skirt 
and go for business trousers, go semi-dress shined shoes.} Look the 
interviewers in the eye, but don't try a stare down. Speak up so they 
can hear you. Speak High Standard English. Research the place where 
you seek employment, so you know something about it other than its 
name. Be ready to bargain if wages come up. If you have ever coached 
or played a sport, and might consider doing so for the school, even 
if no real return, mention it. Be prepared to answer really dumb 
questions. Don't burst into tears or hysterical laughter. Keep 
smiling with a pleasant face, but don't trust the smiles of the 
interviewers. "That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain-" 
applies here as well as in Denmark. [Hamlet,Act 1, scene 5, 105-109] 
Good hunting.
