I guess I could be classed as a manager although I am a partner in the business.

Its pretty easy, if its retail, be prepared for people to moan at you. just tell them to G TF. dont know if you would get away with that though like I do

Im a manager
different companies have different ideas around management prioritys but i guess the main thing is time management and team building skills

I'm an ICT/Network manager in a school

They'll ask you questions about job prioritys, people management, how to deal with situations such as

Dealing with staff conflicts
Time management as kerry says
Maybe budget holding/spending

probably mate, best to think about your personal attributes and answers to the above questions anyway. e.g. if they ask you about budgets say stuff about monitoring costs closely, keep records etc.

make some phone calls and find out what the company is bud, that shows enthusiasm and then you can look the company up and impress them with all your knowledge
