If you've gotten the interview, recruiting has already determined that you are well qualified on paper. As someone who has participated in a number of recruiting events including interviews, one thing that interviewers hate most are people who appear "fake." Don't let this be you! Just be yourself! If you don't get an offer, it's probably for the best. You don't want to be at a place that makes you unhappy.
