Serious or otherwise.

Update: Thanks for all the advice! The interview went really well! At the end, the department chair said he was going to talk to the Deans. Now all I can do is wait. Thanks again!

Be honest, and when there is something you don't know, just say so. I am hiring right now, and many people adjust their CVs to match the job description, but then don't actually know some of the technologies mentioned there...

Also, the line between confidence and arrogance can be very slim. Try to be confident, but don't overdo it.
