When they ask you if you have any questions, ask questions about what the job has to offer you. A good example might be about team dynamics, time off, social events, etc. This heightens your value because you make it seem as if you're the catch, not the job. It has to be subtle and sincerely inquisitive to seem genuine though.

Take a copy of your resume / CV with you is one of the better pieces of advice.

Oh and under no circumstances go to the interview naked.

I've been to interviews where the agency butchered my cv to the extent that they change my quals!

also make sure you learn your cv (it sounds obvious but so many people i've interviewed dont know their own cv.)
the potential employer will only have seen you through your cv and on the back of that wants to speak to you, so many of the questions may come from items on there, also it gives you a strong position as you should know the likely topics of discussion
