a big part of small cap investing is identifying a margin of safety. Small cap names are volatile in nature, so its more than likely that the AM firm your interviewing with has specific criteria IE low net debt to cap, large cash reserve on the BS etc etc.
I would also emphasize that you like small cap because there is is less transparency than with large cap names that get tons of coverage (which is somewhat although slowly becoming less and less true) therefore easier to expose inefficiencies within the market.
If they ask you, "What would you do if you didn't know the answer?" Reply with "Well I would just call the sell side analyst to give it to me."
Thanks for the info bullbythehorns.
