A resume should demonstrate that you possess the key traits that the position will require, while the interview is to demonstrate that you will fit in with the current team.

With your resume, you are trying to condense the substantial elements of your qualifications onto a sheet of paper. Summarize your level of technical knowledge, along with how you acquired that knowledge.

The trick with all interviews is that people let feelings influence their decisions. Therefore your whole objective with the interview is to make them feel comfortable having you as part of the team.

Window-shop at the store a few times and pick up on the language used. What level of vocabulary is most common? What is the tone of voice and demeanor commonly displayed? How do they interact with each other? What is their posture with each other? Once you get an idea of them, you can go to your interview "playing the part" of a future team member because that's what they need to see you as.
