Read, learn, apply, do. (this thread, not the Latest and Greatest). Pay for the interview prep, buy the recommended suit, clean up your logbooks, and be ready for the job of a lifetime. That interview is probably the closest thing you'll have to a winning lotto ticket (if the prize is a 6 figure job with a remarkable office view).

My .02 - Of yesteryear: I spent a weekend consolidating my complete hash of a decade+ of logbooks into 3 extremely professional (and now perfect) logbooks and took both (old and "refurbished") to the interview. Neatness counts. 2 new suits/ties/shoes/shirts. Read everything about recent interviews (here, at the very least). DID THE PRO PREP. Or wing it, because if you're a pilot, you're probably cheap, but understand that FORTUNE FAVORS THE PREPARED MIND.

Even if this whole industry/company goes Tango Uniform in a year or 20*, you won't regret getting a CJO at Delta and being able to say "I accept."

Best of luck.
