Go neat and tidy
Do NOT have a drink before interview ( they will smell it)
If you smoke do not go in stinking of fag smoke, and don't smoke even if they offer you one.
Ask about training internal and external.
Salary, Holiday pay, Bonus schemes, overtime.
Take a CV with you in envelope not srewed up in your pocket
Take a list of question you would like to ask them about their business.
These could include but only ask questions that you understand yourself.
What's their strategy to improve sales, margins, customers
Aims and objectives re customer satisfaction
Advertising, promotions.

Good luck.

erm are we talking a bike shop here or a job at The Rocket science lab

most bike shop owners i have met, have as much idea as a monkey in interviewing

9 out of ten times they will tel you that the "JOB" is a labour of love, that they themselfs have never made any money out of the business, that they only do it for the love , and they don't actualy want to pay you anything!or you will live in the land of "Promise!

anyway DOM good luck and if they are realy good get me a job there too!
