You get good at interviews the same way you get good at coding... do it a lot.
Start applying to lots of companies, especially companies where you do not or are not sure you want the job. Go with the goal of getting practice interviewing instead of getting the job. Not caring if you get the job will take the pressure off of the interview.
When you do not get the job, ask for feedback as to why. Ask questions about the feedback, drill in. If it is a recruiter giving you the news, ask them if you can speak with the hiring manager or if she can request more feedback from the hiring manager, or since you got the managers contact information in the interview, email them and tell them you are trying to get better at interviewing and ask them for some feedback and advice.
Then one day, you will start getting job offers. As for this Friday, while you cannot stop wanting it, look at it this way: It is either going to be good practice, or you will get the job. Either way win-win.
