I use to teach people how to be interviewed..and have taught people how to interview others.
The only thing I want to add with what others have said, was to approach this interview as though you are interviewing them as well. You need to know if this position is the right fit for you. You need to know their expectations of you, from the start, to six months down the road, to where they see you in five years. You want to know about who you are going to supervise and what their strengths and weaknesses are. You want to know the history of why this position was created and why there wasnt a need for it before now. What changed? Ask them what the worst day would be like or what the worst scenario would be? Ask how the company recognizes their employees and how would you play a part in that. Ask them to tell you a success story about an employee.
Above all, be professionally relaxed. Make THEM comfortable. One thing people dont think of, is that the person who is doing the interview is often not trained to do interviews and are sometimes just as uncomfortable as you are being interviewed. That professional relaxed aura will show them you are confident but not arrogant and if you can relax them, they know you will be able to work well with others, too.
good luck and I hope if this job proves to be one you want, you get it!
