Lapses in judgment, breaches of air discipline, and fate's knack of piling-on to the inept/unprepared are as old as aviation. These insidious factors are not gender or race particular, and we can surely surmise that as female or minority pilots gain more exposure, they too, will be included on lists like your's. I can think of several already, but the sensibilities of some here are too easily offended.
I agree! I was just trying to comment at Browtails level. It is absurd to think that only "white males" make mistakes. As you mentioned no race, creed, or color is a "better" aviator than another. I was just trying to show how outrageous Browntails "standards" are. No offense intended!

Study up on the company (look at UPS.com) and its history and various current businesses. As you familiarize yourself generate some enthusiasm for the success of the organization, blah blah blah. They like enthusiasm in the interview.
Be honest about all the skeletons in your closet. They'll overlook a lot except dishonesty.
Know all the standard technical stuff. The sim portion is relatively straightforward. Hint: NEVER stop flying the sim no matter what happens! Something will probably happen that you didn't expect, most likely after many minutes of doing an excellent job. Do not freak out, just do the safe and prudent thing even if you have to go around and can't figure out what the hell just happened to your flawless ILS.
The interview itself is not an inquisition. It's a very pleasant process. Try to relax and be yourself. Wear a nice suit, sit up straight and be ready to discuss some stories about past emergencies, conflicts with superiors/subordinates and how you resolved them, etc.
Good luck on the interview!
