One thing my new employer went on about was things I do out of work. Explained about building PC's from scratch, fixing up motorbikes, DIY etc and he was well interested. Was also chuffed with me doing after hours college courses off my own back to gather more experience. One thing he was very please with was the fact that I wasn't nervous, got all my points across and that I wasn't affraid of talking (sounds daft, but most people choke up). Get yourself a decent CV (I went on a course with the Job Centre to learn how to do a good one). Finally, if your going to go asking for jobs, dress smart even when just asking for one. I nearly didn't get this one because I had all my motorbike gear on and jeans and a t shirt, but got a 2nd interview because he liked me.
