I've been on both ends of interviews of this type for a long time (ah, contracting). I was asked a question once that I liked so much I started asking it: This helps answer the second question: I have interviewed people that were proud of so much they had done (and rightly so) that they had trouble picking something. That is a good sign. I've also had people who had trouble thinking of an accomplishment in the past year -- that's a bad sign. Other than that, the interview questions I like best (that aren't covered in the OP):
IMO, these give an insight into how the person deals with tough situations, how much they cared to research the job, and if they are capable of adapting and problem-solving. If they are smart, productive, and adaptable, they are usually a shoe-in.
