HI Kirstyvale,
Firstly congratulations on your interview!! Thats amazing and you have clearly worked hard to get it. Its unclear what level you are a t (Bsc, Phd ?). I worked initially as a technician and had an interview for this. I was asked primarily on my final year project and work experience. I found it helpful to have a printout of some slides summarising my final year project to explain to my interviewers, emphasising methods/techniques which I had learned and also work I had to do independently. I was also asked 'why do you want to be a technician' and 'do your qualifications not suit a higher level job?' so perhaps be prepared for those? Also was asked 'what is your proudest achievement in life' and 'if you were in a bar and had to explain your final year project?'. I hope that helps you, but to be honest most interviews are pretty straightforward! As long as you want the position you'll be fine! But best tip of all : Go to pub and have at least two pints before your interview - it will make the world of difference!! (trust me, it really does!!).
Best of luck and let us know how you get on!
