You need to show that you already know their situation and want to work there more than anyone else does. If you show that you're just checking it out at the interview, they'll move on to the next person. Best of luck with it!
Whatever you do...DO NOT follow any of this advice!

Be very sure to ask questions, and YES interview them as much as they are interviewing you. They want you to like being there, not that you just need a job. Its all about fit.

No, don't just ask about days off and if you are required to travel much or do extra chores as you hate those LOL...but about the worst thing you can do is leave that interview as a stranger, a YES MAN type.

Have a real personality, ask good questions, show that you have a life. Be a real person.

Think about the classic, old school airline type interview - and be exactly opposite of that...

Good Luck!
