Prepare for Your Interviews
You’ve brushed up your skills, dialed in your resume, and finally found a job you want. Now all you have to do is wow them in the interview. Any job interview can be a nerve-wracking experience, but if you go in prepared and confident, you’ll give yourself the best possible chance to land the job you want. With that in mind:
Be honest. If you misrepresent yourself during an interview, you’ll likely end up harried and miserable even if you do land the job. Likewise, be yourself during the interview, and if you’re nervous, let your interviewer know.
Do your homework. Nothing turns off an employer more than a job candidate who doesn’t know what they do or what industry they’re in. Visit the company’s website and familiarize yourself with their business and especially with any products you’re likely to be working on.
Come with questions. Part of doing your homework is coming up with some questions to ask your interviewer. All businesses want employees who care about their products, and asking intelligent questions during your job interview demonstrates that you care.
Remember, you’re interviewing them, too. A job interview is usually the first time you get to evaluate the work environment you’re attempting to join. It’s one of the first times you get to meet your potential co-workers in person, and one of your first chances to ask questions about the job you’re applying for. So while you’re busy trying to impress your interviewer, take some time out to consider whether you actually want to work at this place. You don’t want to go in looking to grill your interviewer about whether this office is worthy of you, but if you remember that you’re still evaluating this opportunity as well, it’s often easier to relax.
Once you’re past these job interviewing basics, check out this guide for some more tips:

I've been working in the IT industry for a few years and from what I've gathered, the best way to work out your salary is mainly determined by the 3 main deciding factors:
* Geographic demand - although in IT, it's not AS big as say in retail, but most want websites developed in the same geographic region and this normally reflects the pay rate of developers.
* Skilled workers available - the less skilled workers that are available, the more employers are willing to pay for skilled employees, like bidding on goods on ebay.
* Experiance - yes not education, but experiance; this is a big requirement as many employers wont even touch collage or TAFE students without something to show. Just make a decent modern website (good idea to utilize MVC design with a backend of some sort, hint google 'web 2.0'), which should demostrate more then any resume can. Those with experiance, usually the more you have (assuming you have naturally progressed more competancy with the industry along with the experiance), the more employers are willing to win the bid over you.
But if you are getting into the industry, make sure you leave or finish working with the first company in good terms and make sure you can use them as a referee as they are your door into a good company and a nice salary. ;-)
