Seeing as I don't drink, I'm good on that front...

Start drinking just to be able to not show up drunk at your interview...?

What kind of a job is it? I know that you shouldn't look too fancy or like a hobo. Be prepared to answer every question they ask you, don't talk too much, be clear on what you say so that no further clarifications will be needed and make sure your body language shows that you're confident and not scared or something like that.
That's all I can offer.

If they ask that^ question Sean I think you can sue (the religion one not the race one).

Oh, also, if they ask a question about sexuality tell me so that I'll sue them.

I haven't only been in school. I've worked in several places myself, but when I went to ask for a job at the local stadium, you know, help the ladies that were playing basketball, I didn't take the job because they asked me about my orientation.

Also, at a dance school they didn't get a friend of mine to work there because he wasn't gay. So, it's weird.

Ask questions! It shows your interested. An interview is suppose to be a dialogue not a monologue.

Here's my two cents:
Its a mental thing: You are the best person for the job. If you go in with that attitude then you should be able to bag it. No one has your qualifications or your personality, so no one can do the job like you can. Show how interested you are in the job ask a few questions. Lean slightly forward when the interviewer is speaking to you. Be open in body language. Don't huddle in the chair. Relax. Whats the worst that they can say to you? Sorry you didn't get the job. The world hasn't ended from that. Try to make him remember you.
That's my advice. Good luck.
