How do you get ready for a second interview, especially one that’s scheduled to be an hour long? My first interview was with a recruiter for about 30 minutes and covered things like my personality, how I handle situations, and why I want to work there. They want me to come back in to interview with the execs, and I've never had more than one interview before. I’m a little nervous and not sure what to expect for round two. Any suggestions for how to prepare for a more detailed interview?

This job description sounded really good, especially since it's for a remote position. But then I noticed it said *monthly* compensation for a ton of work and requirements. It doesn't say part-time either. Is that a typo, or do they think they can hire someone and pay that little?
