In my experience you will be more prepared than the interviewer. I've had some shocking interviews. Finally, if you don't know just blag it and learn on the job. Quote from Mr. Branson and how I've managed all my working life.

Also having done a few interviews I give more credit if I get the sense that they are interviewing the company too. Don't appear desperate to work there, ask questions as if you are not yet decided.
