This coming Wednesday, I got an interview. This is an internship interview. There
are 3 candidates(including me). This is will be my first interview. I have never
been in an interview. So I ask the more experience, what do you guys look
for in a candidate? I just want some heads up, because I'm nervous thinking about
it already. Thanks.

This is asked sooo many times.
I would look for separateness in a candidate, and the will to solve their problems for their own.

I have never been called for an interview in my life. Fuck, for 7 months now. No matter I'm self-sufficient, I can solve my stuff for myself....

Sorry for the rant.

Spend an hour googling interview questions, and be prepared to give solid answers to those questions without having to think much. They're going to ask you about your experience so far (be it school or work), what you are looking for, times when you overcame challenges, times when you had to deal with people you didn't like, etc. etc.

When I interview for interns I am looking for someone who is first of all dependable, and then someone who will take on additional responsibilities outside of the original position.

Remember to ask questions too. The questions you ask can be just as important as the answers you give.
