There might be people out there whose job it is to do nothing but hire new people every day. But usually when you're interviewing for a job the person doing the interview is just winging it as well. Even if they've had to hire others before, it's probably not something they do all that often. So they ask the same stuff they were asked, maybe look around for some interesting new questions. It's getting-to-know-you stuff.

I'll admit there might be a cultural difference though. I'm not in the US. So we might get questions like that on interviews, but we don't have forms like that. We just have to send our CV and a letter or a form that has that info. And yeah, on an interview we technically can expect questions like that, but from what I've seen it really does just turn into a conversation to see how you'd fit into the department, if you could handle the job.

I don't think the questions and answers themselves matter that much, it's the conversation they start. It's sort of like the questions on online dating profiles. It's not just what you say, but how you say it. Often the person interviewing you will also be your colleague, so they want someone they can picture themselves getting along with, as well as someone who will do their work properly.
