The big one for me: Do you call or not call regardless if they say "don't call us we'll call you." I've heard pros/cons for both sides of the coin and to this day I still don’t know what to do.

My interviews usually started out with throwing up.... crying during... and a double punch of hyperventilating + passing out afterwards. Yet if am contemplating anything other then the interview itself, I'm fine.

Now I set up a really HOT date the night before the interview.... to keep my mind occupied on "other things." hehe
