*Nerves*

There is another tack that you can try, they are looking to employ you 
so you interview them!

Why should I work here?
What do you have to offer?
What career benefits are there?
Ect, ect, ect.

Of course don't be dumb enough to ask those questions outright.

Failing that remember 'you didn't have the job before you walked through 
the door' so if you don't get it what have you lost? Nothing!

You don't work for them yet so why let the interviewer intimidate you, 
knowingly or not? The interviewer has to wipe their bum just the same as 
you so they're no better than you.

Hope that helps.
