    Remember - they're lucky to have you, not the other way

To elaborate on that a bit, many people seem to forget that an interview is a two-way evaluation. Do NOT forget that. You are absolutely there to evaluate them as a company - ask them some tough, but fair questions too to get a sense for whether you want to work there or not. I've found going in with an attitude of equal parties can give you extra confidence.

This obviously won't work if you feel desperate for work, but remember they are just as desperate to fill a position as you are to find one. Of course the numbers work in the employer's favour, but during the interview it's only 2 parties.
