A bit of both. I was an IT contractor for a while so changed jobs 1-2 times a year.

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.
I also echo this advice! I should have mentioned about research. The more knowlege you have the more comfortable you will feel also.
