Hi Cathy
Is this an academic department office role or a central services role you are applying for?
If it is for a Department/Faculty get yourself some background on their specific subject area(s) eg an Arts Faculty may have a number of exhibitions running - try and see some and think about organising an event like that; whereas a central service team dealing with students might be more process orientated (eg enrolment; SITS; timetabling) so try and find out about those things.
Even if you wouldn't be directly involved it will help you prepare questions and for the interview and when you get the job it can help you fit into the team more easily.
Other than that as you have already heard, be yourself, don't be tempted to exaggerate anything but don't undersell your transferable skills ...
Finally the best of luck and do please let us know hoe you get on - we will all be nervous for you I am sure ...
Cathy
