Read the want ads. And do respond to anything that is remotely intriquing.
Set up an interview and be five minutes early.(creating the illusion of timeliness...)
Be relaxed but formal, flexible and competent. Be curious about the job.Smile and shake hands.(once again...the illusionof...)
Have a resume, even if its meager, its not a bad idea. At least you can state your aspirations and give them a paper with your contact info all bold and stuff. If you have some work samples of projects you'd like to feature, make up a simple portfolio to whip out if it seems right.

And one thing that has worked for me in more formal interviews when I really wanted the gig, is to send each of the interviewers a letter right afterwards thanking them and reminding them why you the one. Cause, you the one. Suck up. Risk overkill.

Let everyone you know know youre looking. Like with apartments, the best ones come through connections and never hit the press.

Good luck sir.
