          Facetious: "Would you like a drink?" "Did you find us ok?" Actual: "Can you give us an example of when you did x" - lots of variations on this "How did you find x project?" - variants on this to just test out that your CV is actually yours "Our project hopes to do x. How would you expect it to work?" Background: "What's your usual approach to a problem?" - more to get an understanding of how someone processes things.

                It's a stupid question because it only elicits canned responses about being too much of a perfectionist

                    "sugar or creme in your coffee?"

                    Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

                      Why should we hire you? The whole interview is centered around that question.

                      Yusuf May I help you?

                        The most common one that interviewers never actually ask is .. Why did you bother coming all the way to this interview when you know that we were always giving the job to someone related to the managing director and just posted the vacancy to meet tiresome regulations?

                                  Incorrect the correct answer is: How do y'do? Welcome to life in the UK, where enquiring about someone's health is seen as intrusive.

                                        Very little because the recruitment agent only told me who you were 20 minutes ago. I stopped dealing with those recruitment agents - They were always hiding something.
