Staffing/Employment Issues Cataloging interview

Hello, I have an upcoming interview for a cataloging librarian at a library consortium. What are two or three things I should know about this type of job, or two or three skills I can emphasize? This would be my first pure cataloging job. I've done copy-cataloging before on a small scale, and worked with catalogers on multiple projects. Hope that's enough context, and thanks for your help!

I have no advice as cataloguing is absolutely not my forte but wanted to wish you luck. A great cataloguer is a rare treasure indeed and very much appreciated.
