DO NOT CALL the HR office to ask about your preparation.
I won't "look like you care." It'll look like you are insecure about the interview.
Note to remember: even if you don't get the job, the interview will be very good practice for you, and will help you be ready for the second HUGE interview of your life.

Don't call HR unless you really need to. Just come to the interview prepared for anything and everything.
Depending on the job, many companies now use behavioral based interviewing techniques. Meaning that they will ask you questions such as...
Tell me about a time when you had a conflict with a co-worker.
They are looking for you to answer multiple questions.
What was the situation?
What specific action did you take?
What was the outcome?
Be ready for those kinds of questions.
Stay focussed on answering the questions that they give you. I have interviewed many people and often get answers to questions that I never asked. The candidates get nervous, question whether they have provided enough of an answer...and then start just rambling.
Good luck.

I would not call before the interview. Make sure to investigate the company you are interviewing with. Go to their website and see what is new with the company.
Take business cards (or names & email) from the people you interview with. Send a thank you email to all the people that you met with. Send it the very next day. This will make you stand out.
Good Luck!

Don't be a pest. Go review some on-line career advice sites like Careerbuilder.com, monster.com, etc., and read up. Also have some idea about how the company operates.
You'll stand out by calling, all right. They have nothing better to do.

The only thing that you need to be prepared for is anything. HR does not care about anythingbut previous job duties, and how you will be on their job site. Be calm and be yourself. ?They will appreciate that more than you trying to fit in.
