The NAS interview was more conversational and didn't have much difficulty. Most unexpected and difficult was in an interview with a different company. I was asked "How would you find a needle in a haystack?"

Provided with a business case and had 15 minutes to prepare to present plan and roadmap. Panel group presentation with various level within the organization coming in and out during the hour long in person interview. Business case was not representative of the type of work and job description I was interviewing for, was targeting soft skills evaluation.

Started with wanting to know how I have delivered projects, "tell me about a time you lead a project" "what did you do" "how did you do it" what could you have done better". Asked a lot of questions like what sort of goals did you implement for yourself, tell me about a time you had to deal with conflict, tell me about a time you had a difference of opinion with someone, what would you have done differently etc etc. I would recommended to anyone to go down the line of speaking about a project (or time in your life) with lots of problems as it is probably better for the later question when you have to critique yourself - I fell into the trap of saying how brilliant this particular project was and when they asked what I would have done differently I didn't have uch to say! They ended with the benefits of social media question which I have seen someone else also got which I felt was really quite pointless.
