I usually just pretend that I'm talking to a peer of mine.
It's easier when the interviewer is a chica, because I can go into a mode as if I'm talking myself up so I can ask her out.
Really, the entire key is just relaxation, which you can't do, but you peobably only can't do it because you think you're facing a superioor. Remember that the dude is just a human, and probably not more impressive than you, not by a long shot. And you have very good reasons for applying for the job. And, really, it isn't like anybody else on the face of the planet, save for Deino, whoever the hell he is, is likely to do a better job than you.
So just open the door, shake the man's hand and say, "Congratulations, friend! I am now your employee."
Pull the cake out of your backpack.
"I brought a cake so we can all celebrate this miracle event. I'll be fixing up the kitchen while you all eat, since I don't like unorderliness in the kitchen, and I understand this there may be an influx of dishes because of this 'cake' situation."
------------
Well- Maybe I went overboard. But the key is to just realize that you ARE qualified and you ARE the best person to hire and you are just talking to some guy who is looking for YOU.
Be confident.
But try not to be a cocky little punk, because they won't like it if you appear as if you're above the work they offer you.
I have been told, on a couple of occasions, that I might be able to find a more suitable job elsewhere, since I act like I'm so great, and since they kinda know that I'm going to be screwed over if I don't get the job which, in all actuality, I'd beg for if it came down to it.

Practice ahead of time with a friend or relative. Have them ask you the same types of questions you'll find in interviews (job posting sites often have lists of sample questions you can use.) You can also practice in front of a mirror.
The more you practice, the more comfortable you'll be. And remember that the interviewer may be even less experienced than you are - many hiring managers don't like interviewing and/or aren't used to it.
You'll be fine - good luck!

Just be professional and show them your strengths. Also keep in mind many people who do interviews are equally as nervous and uncomfortable so it is a difficult situation for both of you.
