Find something in the job description that is mentioned to be a big chunk of your responsibilities and take that as the starting point.

Ah, shit I'm still mulling....

Luckily I did a good bit of that in the first interview; everything they're doing with regard to the actual roll-out (it's basically an account/database manager for one specific key account that they're rolling out a proprietary software package for, to house all of their information for some 40,000 products, from organic certifications, to certificates of insurance, to artwork/packaging).

I've BEEN a part of a similar roll out, I was on the project team for development, I wrote the training manual to train OTHER people on the product... so I know exactly what they're going to be going through (in fact, their program looks BETTER/easier to use than the one I worked with).

So all the while during the interview while he's telling me what they're doing, etc... I was giving him examples of things I'd done that related to it... It was a funny interview really - he never once asked me anything, and at the end of it, told me it was basically a personality interview.
