Help! I have got to do an interview?

I usually ask stuff like: what they enjoy most/dislike most about their current job, what do they think they would like about the job you're offering etc. If it's purchase ledger, maybe you could give them an example of a typical transaction and see how they would post it or something like that?

I had an interview a couple of weeks back sort of like this, she called it an informal get to know you session. She asked about my likes, define yourself in 3 words, how would your friends describe you, what you want out of life in general, the aim was just to see if I'd fit in in their small office.

I got this list of an agent when I went for a job with them, whilst most of them probably aren't totally applicable it might give you some ideas:-
