I kinda blew one up pretty bad with IMG a couple years ago. Have one coming up with Nike Golf . Do's? Dont's? What have people done in the past that has worked because I am fairly green. Luckily I know the golf industry better than any sport out there so that should help a lot.

IMO interviews are a lot different now than they were even a decade ago. Obviously I wouldn't know what interviews were like ten years but I've always had the impression that companies used to sit there and grill interviewees about technical stuff.(I've had one interviewee ask me how many golf balls would fit in a school bus and they just want to see how your mind works i.e. a golf ball takes up X cubic inches and there are Y cubic feet in a bus therefore Z numbers of balls could fit in a bus. These types of questions are regarded as relative bullshit today for a number of reasons and I've only been asked something along these lines that one time) Pretty much every interviewer I've had has gone out of their way to make me feel comfortable. They seem genuinely interested in seeing what kind of person you are. It might be a little different interviewing for a huge corporation as I've only interviewed for companies ranging from size of 4 to about 100. But being personable is a big part of your interview IMO.
Obvious stuff would be to know about Nike Golf, what it does, etc. Be excited about the position. Make sure you have questions to ask at the end even if you're completely positive about everything that happened during the interview. Shorter hair is usually preferred for an interview and a dark grey/charcoal suit with a white shirt, dark red/maroon tie and black shoes is usual first interview attire(conservative colors)
None of this probably helped

I've been told to never wear a red tie. It is seen by some as a sign of power, which is something you should not be projecting as the person being interviewed.

One thing I always do is look at the job I'm interviewing and pick out what things from my background that will make me standout. I come up with an idea of answers I can give to get this into the interview. It is probably harder to do this since it is one of your first interviews, but if you can make yourself stand out then do it. Having the same degree and GPA only gets you there...

Luckily I know the golf industry better than any sport out there so that should help a lot. Believe in yourself, talk yourself up without seeming cocky basically you need to learn how to bullshit to the extent that the bullshit you're talking about seems real I've gone into interviews with zero experience in the position being interviewed in and bullshitted to the extent that the potential employer was impressed with the knowledge I had when in reality I had none lol but do your homework beforehand and you will have no problems talking yourself up. seem interested in the company by asking questions about said company if they werent originally answered by the interviewer if you ask a question that was already answered youre going to look like an idiot. If you think you're overdressed, that's good. Wear dress socks, worse thing you can do is wear low cut off socks with dress shoes you'll get turned right away no matter how good you are lol.
