Instead of asking "How would you deal with an irate customer?" The interviewer will say, "Tell me about an incident in which you had to deal with an angry customer. What did you do?

One of the keys to successful interviewing is anticipating the questions the interviewer will ask. It's amazing how few job seekers take the time to consider this.
