I was interviewing for a couple of BI roles some years back and my first question was always
"What is Business Intelligence?"
One memorable chap said that if he went into a shop and saw some pencils at 50p each but then saw some other pencils in another shop at 40p each, he would buy the 40p pencils - and that was Business Intelligence.
Shortest interview EVER
And don't start me on the tosser who actually ANSWERED HIS PHONE during an interview
I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

Isn't it interesting being on the other side of the fence and seeing the 'competition'?! I've only interviewed a couple of times and was truly astounded. One woman demanded that as she'd had to walk "miles" to get the building (i.e. around a quarter of a mile from the train station) that I let her have a 20 minute break and make her a cuppa while she was recovering.Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

After a long time on the bench I've been trying for permie jobs.
In my experience no matter how good your are technically,
Getting a permie job depends on the answer to these bulltulip questions
Why do you want to work for this company
where do you see yourself in 5 years
what do you look for in a job
how would your ex-manager/colleagues describe you
what are your strengths/weakness
what motivates you
what do you dislike about a job
what is the biggest challenge you have have faced at work
Describe a difficult situation which, with hindsight, you could have handled betterComment

I've always found "tell me about yourself" to completely pointless. They've got the c.v., often had a phone chat, decided they like what they've seen/heard so far and asked you along, then, it seems, they want to start all over again.
