I'd also recommend watching out for one very dangerous trick question: "Tell me about one weakness you have on the job" or something like that. If an interviewer asks that and you say you don't have a weakness, you look like a liar or clueless. But if you offer a genuinely damaging weakness, you're sunk. So you need an answer in case someone asks this loaded question, but an answer that is not terribly damning. Like "sometimes I get so involved in my work and so committed that I get a little impatient if a co-worker seems indifferent." This is all extremely helpful.
