>> approaching the interview process as a role in which she must please the interviewer in order to be granted the prize of a job. This is the natural approach to the process when you feel that you need the job, which is the state most people are in when they're interviewing. As far as I can tell, the only thing you can do is interview for open positions frequently, especially when you are already employed and like your job. This nets you practice and exposes you to opportunities without the desperation. There are drawbacks to this strategy too, though - each interview you do at a company that does not result in a hire can make you less likely to be asked back for another one for a different position there unless they are desperate for you, and the real value gained from spending time and effort practicing at interviewing is debatable.
