I had one once.
They asked me about my background, asked me how I'd handle certain situations, and tended to ask me the "usual" questions (e.g. "What is your biggest strength, Tell us about a time when you had to deal with something that was totally different / something that happened on a spur of the moment"). I would thing about the general things you have to answer in an interview. In addition, prepare questiosn about the company. Many times, I would ask questions on things I read about the company / job description that meant I had an idea of what they wanted / expected/ did but needed more detailed information. Also, don't forget to ask about questions about the working environment, etc as you won't have as good of a chance to find out as you would in person.
Good questions to always check on is what is to be expected of you, what is a normal work day, etc. Also, make sure you take notes and get more details to the answers to the questions you ask / information you talked about.
Don't worry to much about the "umms, uhhs, err" and such. It happens. Don't dwell on it. Don't worry either about taking a moment to properly answer a question. It's not like they ahve a stop watch and are timing you. Be ready and keep an open imind too. I would suggest looking online at some of the common questions and suggest answers, but also see if you can find the "unusual interview questions". Keep in mind they could ask you anything with regards to the unusual questions and again that's why you need to keep an open mind, give a few seconds of though, and give an answer in which you have at least some sort of logic behind it.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
