If the client asks questions like tell about ur project, what is ur role in the project. Then you need to tell like - the project is about so and so. This is the flow for the project. I handled this module. Then you need to cover ur responsibilities whatever you mentioned in the resume.

Point 13 : Make sure that you are updating your skills in their newer versions. Some times the client will ask you questions like : What is difference between JDBC 2.0 and JDBC 3.0. So you need to know what new things came up in the newer versions of your skill set.
Once you answer these type of questions, the client will get good impression on you and finally he will get the feeling that you are updating your skills.

Point 14 : Never lose confidence on you . Never get tensed. Never lose patience.

Update new skills/Refresh subject day by day without losing PATIENCE and without getting TENSED, finally you will be CONFIDENT on you that you can easily handle the interview.

Best of Luck.
