They will probably look for the same things that any other employer would. Dress and act accordingly, even at a backwater FBO. There may be a formal interview or it may be quick and informal. If they really need CFI's they might just hire you instantly, no questions asked.

You can expect to teach a lesson (on something substantial like aerodynamics). They might let you pick the lesson, so have a good technical lesson ready to go. The interviewer may play the role of a problem student: "stupid student", "gods gift to aviation", "Know it All". "The CEO", etc.

You may also do a sim or airplane check. Obviously if you do a sim check it will be on IFR procedures.

Your lack of CFI time is mostly a good thing. It's good because you're not going to get hired by an airline in the next few weeks. The ideal new-hire CFI would come with 100 hours dual-given in my opinion....this person is already broken-in but has plenty of shelf life before the airlines call.
