Depends on your first job interview. For me when I had to do multiple interviews the first one was just with my (future) immediate supervisor and she told me about the position and looked at my qualifications. I was asked a series of questions on why I fit the qualifications of the given job.
Second interview consisted of three people. My (future) immediate supervisor, as well as two of her supervisors. Here I was given a more in depth idea of the functioning of the job, and not just the day to day aspects of it. How I can contribute to the company, and ideas on how to better enhance said company, etc. (Do some research on your job before going to this interview).
Third interview was in front of a panel of 7 people. The former 3 people, plus some other people who work directly with where I am working, and some who deal with the section. Here I was tested on how quickly I can think on my feet, and my problem solving skills. This was basically a trial for if I were to get hired, how would I be able to handle different situations that may come up.
I hope that helps. Not everyone is the same structure, but that's one example of what I went though.

Compared to the first interview, a second interview will likely involve more preparation, more people, more questions, more intensity, and more pressure -- in addition to more likelihood that you will land the job.
You may interview with managers, senior executives, department heads, and prospective team members. For college students, this second-interview day may represent the first time the student has been interviewed in the employer's workplace. Plan to bring ample copies of your resume for all the people you may be meeting with.
Do try to find out in advance exactly what the agenda will be and whom you can expect to interview with. If you aren't given this information when the interview is set up, contact the assistant of the main person with whom you'll be meeting to see what you can find out. If you see that a workplace tour is not included on the agenda, ask if someone can show you around as time permits.
As you respond to a question, maintain eye contact with everyone at the interview -- not just the panelist who asked the question.

The 1st interview weeds out those that have no experience, don't look the part, or seem secondary to others before them. The 2nd interview only means you have another chance, along with many others. It means more than one potential boss will look you over, assess your attributes, see if you are capable of handling the job, and are a cut above the rest.
Thus, you must dress like you have the job, know something about the company before you get there(check it out on Google), know the answers to the usual why should they hire you questions, and smile with confidence.

It means you passed the first "screen" interview, so they're going to have some other people talk to you to see if they like you. Probably a lot of the same questions, and you'll find out more detail about the job so they can check your reactions, see if you still seem interested or competent to do it.

Well, the 1st time I went for a job interview, all they really wanted to know is stuff about me and pretty easy common questions, along with my papers and references I gave them. The 2nd time they needed me to read their employees manual and fill ou stuff. They hired me. That's most likely what it's for. Congrats.
By the way, if they didn't want you, they wouldn't have called you back. =]

Congrats on making it to step#2
Usually,you'll meet The plant prez who will ask you questions like,What are your greatest achievements?What could you bring to this company?
You may also meet human resources,so be politically correct.
Ultimately you'll fill out papers and get a paycheck! You go girl!
