I’ve actually, purposely, given a few of these “bad answers”. Since they are SO incredible that anyone with half a brain would ever say that and mean it, it opens the door for me to chuckle about it and then really turn on the selling job to answer the question. Did it work without pissing people off? It got me no fewer than four second interviews and two job offers with international companies.

BUT… you have to practice the timing. Timing is EVERYTHING, basically, start laughing at your own answer before they can even raise their eyebrows. THEN start the selling job straight away.

Well put. One thing that should be noted, is that you can never fully know what interview questions will be asked, so being prepared for anything and everything is important... and the best way to do that is to practice and prepare!!! 10BiggestInterviewMistakes.com’s last blog post..During the Interview, Frame Your Responses

@Paul – Great tip! I wish I would have remembered that one as it is one of the most important. It shows that you are dedicated to the position and really want it. Have those questions ready people!

As someone who has interviewed and hired many people one of the most important tips was that when the interviewer asks you "Do you have any questions of me?" Have some questions ready! How about, What's the work culture like here? Even ask for feedback about your interview that's totally okay as well. Act like you want the job and you'll be amazed how it goes.
