Default Vitamin Shoppe Interview

I wanted to post this in the fitness biz subforum, but its technically not a fitness question.

So I'm playing big brother, my little bro has an interview at the Vitamin Shoppe and I was hoping to point him in the direction of some resources or an overview of Vitamins and Supplements. He has a degree in Exercise Science and currently works at a city rec center, but his diet knowledge might be subpar at this point. I'm hoping he scores this job, not to mention a discount for me

Anyone have a good website, I'm not really sure of what the interview will consist of but would appreciate some insight.

I'm going to guess that most of the questions will not necessarily be technical nutrition questions, except for:

What type of supplements do you use?
What brands do you use and why?
Where do you buy your supps?
Where do you learn about supps?

Generally, these type of boxed up vitamin stores (Vitamin Shoppe, GNC, etc) usually train their own staff on the hot new supplements so that they able to sell them better. The other training is done during off hours reading mags.
