Answer all questions with a tone of confidence and looking into the interviewers eyes.  Don't use slang, such as 'yeah'; it should be something like, "Yes, I have worked in the industry for 3 years." etc.  At the end stand up, offer a firm handshake, and say "I'm sure I could be an asset to your company and I look forward to hearing from you."

I think probably she wanted to know about you personally.  She wants to know if you are a person of wider interest.  \n\nIt might be useful if you were prepared to talk about musical instruments that you play, sports that you enjoy participating in, voluntary work, creative arts, interesting places you have travelled, anything constructive or interesting that you have done outside of education or paid employment.\n\nBad/trite/dull answers would "socialising with friends", "watching television", "playing computer games", "chatting on the Internet", "shopping".  Have something more interesting to talk about!

Not at all!  This is an open question that let's you sell yourself to the interviewer.  Don't look at it as having to tell about your personal life.  Point out things about yourself that are positive, and that will be an asset to their company.  No interviews are really "fun", but this is a question that is allowing you to take the lead of the interview, and tell what YOU want them to know about you.  Do not discuss anything that would cast doubt on your ability or that you are questioning the job.  Toward the end of the interview, they will ask if you have any questions, and you can clear up any questions you have at that time.

I think it is important to have good eye contact.  I would prefer that the person doesn't take notes and ask questions pertaining to the topic at hand not something covered 15 minutes ago.  If you come across something you don't understand ask immediately so you aren't thinking about a topic that was covered 10 minutes ago and missing all the new information.  I also think it is important to be yourself because you really don't know what the company is looking for regarding your personality and if you try to guess you will end up in a company that is not conducive to your way of life. I would do plenty of research.  Many of the individuals that interview don't know everything about the company and if you teach them something without making them feel stupid you are ahead of everyone else.
