WHSmith interview

I have an interview next Tuesday at 12 and was wondering what kind of questions they'd ask me and how the interview would be. It's been a long time since I've had an interview and I'm nervous. I'm going for like, a sales assistant type of role. Any help?

Only work experience which lasted between 2-3 weeks at a time at 3 different places. So not much retail experience, no.

Because they called. And here's an update: yesterday I went. It took ages which he said was a gd sign. Before it was even over properly, he gave it to me and said he had to hire one more person. I start on the 3rd of next month.
