i made sure to be as current and as proficient as i could be prior to getting to training. On my interview i was current, had only been a CFII for a few months, and i continued to do instrument instruction and lots of time in the sim all the way to my class date.
As far as i'm concerned, it really did aid me going through training to have all the instrument rules fresh in my head, and to have developed a heck of an instrument scan prior to seeing the little box of a simulator. good luck.

Although not a requirement, it's probably a good idea to have everything current when you interview -- your 90 days, your IFR. It just shows that you're organized.
Most regionals expect you to have a current 1st class, passport, and FCC when you interview. Looks good to have everything else current as well.

Yeah, be proficient. and in my opinion real world proficient isn't as good as going to a sim and practicing full procedure approaches, holds, etc... until you can do them in your sleep. I mean seriously, how often do you do a full procedure or hold in the real world ifr environment?

I hadn't flow much in the half year before my interview at Mesaba, so I got instrument current and day landings current in a multi, just to be "officially" back in the game. That way, when recent flight time came up, I had something positive and productive to say about it. Got the job, so it worked for me.
