I've taught job-hunting for many years and yes, there are a bunch of books and websites out there that give you pad answers to possible questions.
The real KEY to handling interview questions, as I always tell my students is this: Know why the interviewer is asking the question.
In other words, with the question "Tell me about yourself." Do I really want to know about you? NO! What I'm really testing is how well you communicate and organize your thoughts. What you say is really secondary.
If I ask you "What was the last movie you saw?" Do I really want to know the movie title? NO! What I want to know is whether you even go to the movies, which gives a sense of how "current" you are on events. In business, it's very important to keep up with the latest things going on.
I'm also looking at the kind of movies you watch. If you like lots of "blood and guts" type movies, then I might picture a Rambo character working for me. Would you really fit in with my staff with this impression? Probably not.
Again, the KEY is to ask yourself, what's the real purpose of this question? What is the interviewer really testing? That's the hardest part and why my students appreciate having me there to help them out.
