A few things to remember about interviews in general.
They will not ask you anything that you don't know the answer to ! So be prepared for "What were your favourite subjects at school etc"?
Nobody wants to trick or embarrass you. So be prepared for "are you married or living with parents etc" ?
The interviewers want to find out what kind of person you are, so be prepared to talk about things you like, places you have visited, achievements you are proud of, people you admire.
Think about these things in advance, and also think about some of the practical things they might ask you:
How would you take care of your pets if away for several days at a time?
How will you travel to the base airport/offices, and is the distance/time acceptable?
Are you fit enough to operate the emergency equipment on the aircraft if needed?
What would you do if a passenger became unwell during a flight?
What is the best piece of customer service you have given or received?
Try to relax (interviewers expect a little nervousness), smile, give confident answers (don't mumble or whisper), make lots of eye contact (if more than one interviewer then gently turn your head and "share" your answer between them).
If they ask you " do you have any questions?", then choose from:
"Do you have many vacancies available?"
"Does the airline like to promote staff from within?"
"When will I know the outcome of today's interview?"
or just say " thank you for taking the time to see me"
This gives the interview a nice definate ending and avoids an embarrassing tail-off where nobody knows what to do or say next.
Good Luck, stay calm, be yourself!
