Wow! So either you've turned down a lot of good job offers, or you've changed jobs a lot.

I echo most of Dani's advice, but one major tip I can give you from personal experience is to learn as much about the company, the position, and the interviewers as possible. The more information you have, the more well-informed questions you can ask and the more you will impress your prospective employers. Also, find out a bit about the interview itself - is it a behavioral interview or a stress interview? I've been through one stress interview in my life, and I was absolutely not prepared for it. (Needless to say, I didn't get that position.) Preparation is key!

... Of course, I could just give the typical Pavlina answer and ask why you want a job in the first place.
