you say people hire people they like, but i don't think i'd hire someone
who hijacked the interview process. that would bother me a lot.

"after they ask me to introduce myself, I say:"Before we get to the questions, can I ask you what the best [insert the name of the job you are interviewing for] does differently than the others?" Suddenly, its not an interview anymore and they forget about the crappy questions they had prepared ("What kind of fish would you be?","If you had to design a new driver's license, what would be on the front?"). They will tell you exactly what they are looking for, etc. This gives you the ammo you need to build the best case for yourself. I have done many interviews where after an hour they say "I didn't get to any of my questions!" That is the best possible news."
