Hi, John. For circuit board layout reading, you could do worse than starting with "Noise Reduction Techniques in Electronic Systems", 2nd Edition by Henry Ott.

Most of good board layout is just knowing about electronics -- you didn't mention your background in general electronics knowledge. If you feel a little light there, you might want to refresh with "The Art of Electronics" by Horowitz and Hill, and then glance at some of the books in this bibliography, depending on what your potential employer is doing:

Good luck on your interview Chris

You might want to brush up on issues related to designing pcbs for EMC issues and electrical safety.
