I don't believe in all this silly HR posturing stuff that goes 'tell me about a difficult situation and how you overcame it' as if the person is any good they will have learned an answer and there's no way of checking if it's true. There really is an interview industry. On the few times I've interviewed I like people who act normally, not pushy, who don't gild the lily and who just act themselves. Brash overconfidence turns me off. Helps if there's something like 'rides motorcycle' on the CV - but there rarely is, I think cos peeps think it would put an employer off.
