Interviewing Tips
Buzz has some great interviewing tips that everyone new to interviewing should definitely read.
Having been doing some interviewing myself recently (some of the same interviews, in fact), all I would add is to go a bit further and break talking out into its own item. (My opinions, not my employer's, void where prohibited, etc.)
Talk, talk, talk: If you are given a problem-solving problem, the interviewer wants to see you solving the problem. Silence and/or muttering as you try to work through it won't give the interviewers any insight into what and how you think, which means it's only marginally useful if you get the right answer, and worthless if you don't. Plus, many interviewers will give hints to keep things moving and give you a chance to get to other interesting parts of the question—if you are silently going down the wrong path, you are on your own. Worried about saying something that's wrong as you think out loud? Don't worry about that too much. If you realize your mistake while talking it through, and correct yourself, all the better.
