dom, before answering their questions get them to qualify exactly what the role is, - a common problem is that interviewees assume a role is one thing and answer questions based on that assumption. I would ask for a job description early in the interview so as to base your conversation/answers on that description.

Think of examples of good work that you have done in previous roles, and be clear to take responsibility for success, - by using the word "I" rather than another mistake people often make by claiming success as "we". Answer questions in the STAR format, - explain the situation, the task the action (what YOU did) and the result.

Oh and don't mention your yellow leathers!

Good luck.
