Some of the questions don't make sense when the company approaches you instead of you applying for the job.

My strategy is simple to get at steady & slow pace at the interviews & then blast the interviewer with all you know about topic so that he change it. Then again go slow & then again blast it.
I really like giving interviews whatever type ( lab. , jobs, or for college) they may be. Only trouble is I make my interviewer repeat what he is asking.
