My best job-getting experience was when I was absolutely desperate for work, right before I moved out of the DC area. I used to do tech support and software testing, and I couldn't get an interview ANYWHERE, even for bottom-rung entry-level crap. Out of desperation, I walked into a retail store to grab an application - and I looked like hell, too - messy hair, nose ring, tattoos showing (if I know I'm interviewing, I try to hide that stuff!). I walked out 10 minutes later with a job. I never even got interviewed!
My best actual interview was for the job that got me moved down to the DC area in the first place. 3 weeks after I sent my resume, the guy called me out of the blue and interviewed me by phone. The "interview" consisted mostly of him yammering about the history of his business.  I guess me just sitting there and listening patiently was exactly what he was looking for, and he hired me sight unseen.
It doesn't matter how many interviews I do or how mundane the job is, I still get nervous every time. Good luck tomorrow!
