congrats on the interview! sounds like you are pretty much prepared for it. it's hard to say how women will be in an interview. she may be very welcoming and try to make you feel comfortable or she may be very professional and expect you to act comfortable. there are so many different ways to interview and you just never know what to expect.
i imagine she will ask you a lot of scenario type questions....describe a situation where you had to handle a difficult customer/client and how was it resolved? how well do you handle confrontation? are you able to resolve conflicts? i've planned conferences before and worked on many conference committees and, from the conference site end, it requires a LOT Of customer service skills, patience, follow up and organization. be sure to have plenty of examples ready. think of those bad times and how you got through them (even if it wasn't perfect, give that example and tell what you learned) and those perfect situations and what it made so perfect (good customers, you were prepared, etc).
just a warning...and you probably already know this......working in this field is very time consuming! it could be difficult to work on a master's while doing this work. make that one of your questions.....i am planning on starting my master's degree at ABC University. do you feel it is realistic for me to take 1-2 classes per semester with this job?
good luck! sorry this turned out kinda long.
