Be the best that you can be. Present yourself in the best light, but do not exaggerate, and certainly do not lie. Be the person that you are, and be the person that you would hire. Show that you are a professional. You already know that you want this position, now, your job is to show them why they want you.

Once you have found the job that you were looking for, you should show appreciation for the people who have helped you to achieve this. You should certainly leave positive feedback for the job listing site that helped to connect you with this job. This will show that they are a reputable sight.
