Tell me about yourself. (To avoid rambling or becoming flustered, plan your answer.)
What are your strengths? (Make an exhaustive list and review it exhaustively before the interview.)
What are your weaknesses?(What you say here can and will be used against you!)
How would your current (or last) boss describe you?*
What were your boss's responsibilities? (Interviewers sometimes ask this question to prevent you from having the chance to claim that you did your boss's job. Be ready for it!)
What's your opinion of them? (Never criticize your past or present boss in an interview. It just makes you look bad!)
How would your co-workers or subordinates describe you professionally?* (Remember, now is not the time for modesty! Brag a little bit.)
Why do you want to work for us?
Why do you want to leave your present employer?
Why should we hire you over the other finalists?
What qualities or talents would you bring to the job?*
Tell me about your accomplishments.
What is your most important contribution to your last (or current) employer?
How do you perform under deadline pressure? Give me an example.
How do you react to criticism? (You try to learn from it, of course!)
Describe a conflict or disagreement at work in which you were involved. How was it resolved?
What are two of the biggest problems you've encountered at your job and how did you overcome them?
Think of a major crisis you've faced at work and explain how you handled it.
Give me an example of a risk that you took at your job (past or present) and how it turned out.

Describe a typical day at your present (or last) job.
What do you see yourself doing five years from now?
What if a key employee falls sick at a critical time of project delivery?
My favorite questions are the "Tell me about a time when..." questions. Make sure you have stories about projects you participated in or managed. Especially share stories of those that had a difficulty to overcome (eg: budget or time constraint blown) and how the difficulty was managed in order to bring the project to a successful conclusion, or how the project was closed down before damaging the stakeholders.
