You (the interviewee) must know your subject matter in addition to following Miss Penelope's advice or you may very well "bomb" in an interview. It's OK to admit you don't know something - especially if you are a novice - if you immediately follow that admission with a promise to do your best to educate yourself. I've interviewed many people over the years and I've learned that I much prefer (and will hire) the person who is willing to learn vs. a person who aleady has the skill (or knowledge) in question but is terrible to work with.

The thing with the phone interviews is that can really drag out. If they are interested in you might end up talking to more than few people before you get the job or not. Whereas with in person interviews one or two meetings should do it. I think that phone interviews can carry the same weight as regular in person interviews.
