1. Find out if the second interview will include multiple interviewers and how long it will last. Some second interviews include a serious of meetings with individuals or even a panel. Be prepared.
2. Review your notes from your first interview. Were there questions you found difficult to answer? Were there things that you failed to address in the first interview? Or, did you find that you performed well beyond your expectations? Whatever the case, make sure that you use the information from your first interview to your benefit.
3. Talk to your contact or recruiter to find out what issues will be addressed in the second interview.  This may be a good time to talk to others who have interviewed with the company so that you can get an idea of what to expect.
