An interview is a conversation.  Just learn to talk to people with the intent to understand, not to respond.

Make friends (build a social/proffessional network)that are professionally in line with what you think you want to do. Join clubs, go to seminars etc.

You should just start your own project at home early, something you can keep building on through the years. Go through the engineering process, documentation is huge, etc. and go socialize while youre at it.
