Getting the job description at the interview?

I've found a job at Comet that I might apply for. The only problem is you get the job description at the interview. The job title is Customer Service/Letter Writers. There's a little blurb on the website: Office based administration, support and dealing with general enquiries. A full job description will be provided at interview stage.
But I don't want to get to the interview to find out it's not for me. Anyone work in this environment? I suppose I could apply and find out. :rotfl: Does this make anyone else a but unnerved? Why won't they tell you the job description before the interview?

It usually happens when they haven't actually finished writing it. I can't think of a single interview I've had where they didn't give more away at the interview than they did in the spec!0

Oo, I like that twist! Makes sure they've got the correct person, not just the person who's best at repeating their own job description back at them!
What sort of things would you expect to say about yourself at the interview? I'm guessing with that sort of job it's a fairly standard set of requirements:
- Good organisational skills
- Computer literate
- Good english / ability to write letters
- Team player
- Punctual and accurate, attention to detail
- Good communication
- Experience of working with customers
- Polite and well-presented
