Superday Etiquette

I have a superday coming up and it is my first one, I was wondering what the etiquette is. I have read various things on this site but would like to figure out what you should and shouldn't be doing. Obviously wear a darker suit, white shirt, traditional tie, bring extra resumes, sit up straight, look at people in the eye, etc.. But I have heard other random things like don't sit down until they tell you to, same with standing up. I am probably over thinking but just curious if there were other random things I should be cognizant of

 

Don't make it too scientific otherwise you risk over-analyzing yourself into a computer and passing off as either not genuine or a weird person.

The idea is to pass on the impression that you are a) normal, b) respectful. I know, not too helpful.. here's a thought: if your parents recommended you talk to an old friend of their about how would you behave? I'm assuming you'd take your parents into account and be polite as to not reflect negatively on them; at the same time, you'd probably find some comfort and be relaxed because that person "wants" to talk to you and has a common connection. I think an interview is much of the same. Don't forget that the people on the other side genuinely want you to do well.

If they put you in the room before the interviewer comes in: 1) make sure to take the proper seat. If there's a desk, don't take the one behind the desk. If it's a conference table, sit on the side closer to the door and not at the head of the table (so the interviewer can sit across from you) - your back should be to the door. 2) you can sit while you wait but stand up when the interviewer arrives (shake hands and say hi, i'm ___ ") and sit down after they sit down

Say thanks and shake hands at the end. Ask for contact info if they didn't give you business card at the start and send thank you note later in the afternoon (if interview was in the morning) or the next morning (if interview was later in the day).

Superdays are obviously longer than first round interviews so make sure you're well rested and feel free to accept any water that is offered (drink in between interviews, not during).
