Hi,

My list of DO's is the following


	Structure everything you speak about
	Maintain eye contact
	Give rationale for every part of the structure e.g. I want to deep dive into competitors because of 2 reasons
	Use top-down communication during the fit-part of the interview
	Wrire neat notes that are easy-to-read and follow
	Speak always, do not be silent if you do not know what to tell
	Synthetize, what next steps are, what so-what's
	Smile
	Be confident
	Make sure interviewer follows you by involving into discussion 


For DON'Ts I will mention red flags:


	Be silent 
	Argue with the interviewer




I hope that was helpful. 

Kind regards,
