Online application does most of the job, so make sure you spent plenty of time on that and add as much info as possible.
One to one interview, quite relaxed if you connect with the interviewer, doesn't last more than half an hour. The key is to try and make answer your question in a conversation way. Do not give short answers, give something that the interview can feedback on and ask you more about it, that way it will turn less formal.
