Research for Interview?

    I have an interview tomorrow and i'm wondering how much research is necessary.

    The position is one that i've worked in before, so my general knowledge and understanding of it is quite good (enough to get me the interview!:))

    I'll use the following analogy....

    Let's say i work in sales in a BMW dealership for 6+ months, in that time i've attained a decent level of knowledge of cars in general, but obviously my main area of expertise is limited to BMW.

    So, lets say I then get an interview with a Mercedes dealership, is it necessary for me to learn as much as i can about their product? Or is the basic automotive knowledge/sales experience fine, with the product knowledge being addressed in training?

    I only ask because the company i have the interview with tomorrow have quite a lot of products to its name, and there's no chance i could get a good understanding of it all!

    Cheers!

    Learn as much as you can about each product but make sure you know every product, and their best sellers etc..,

    No body ever failed an exam from knowing too much.
