What is your experience? I did xyz to my Ninja 250.
What tools do you have? Only what I needed to do xyz to my Ninja 250.
What bike do you have, and did you ride it here? SV 650 and yes.
Come with whatever tools you have on Tuesday.
That shop set the gold standard for everything. I can tell pretty quick if/how sexist the management is, or is going to be, in the interview. A dead giveaway is, "I'm not trying to be sexist, but..." it's a big problem in the motorcycle industry. Where I worked (Cycles of Silver Spring) I wasn't "one of the guys" nor was it like "don't talk that way there's a lady around." It IS possible to treat a female who works on bikes as, surprise, just another human being...
off my soapbox

I guess I couldn't talk you into singing a couple choruses of "I enjoy Being a Girl" by Doris Day huh?
