Make sure you look good. If the job is at an office, were nice business attire. If it is at a casual business, wear neat slightly dressy clothing. (Of course, nothing sexy though!)
If you look good, you will come off as "together" and probably feel better too. I know that I always feel more confident when I look professional. Actually, on days when I have to lecture on a topic that I am a bit shaky on, I dress up more. My motto is "If you don't know what you are doing, at least look like you do!"
The other thing that I do is to pretend that I am playing a role. Like an actor or something. If I can get myself into that mindset, I feel much more confident. It is like this isn't the real me, this is just the Pretend EE. If the interviewer doesn't like Pretend EE, oh well, it isn't the real me anyway.
Good luck!
