I have been involved in interview panels in the past, but haven't done it for a few years now.

I think Chrono's list is a good one.

From what I recall, we used to structure the interview questions so that there was one that asked them something about why they wanted the job and would be suited to the job; one that tested a little of their technical knowledge with regards to the job; and one question that was a bit "left field" but still related to the job - maybe something that asked a bit about themselves but showed something of their personality.

It is always a good idea to learn a bit about the company that you are trying to get a job with. For example, what fields to they do business in, what are their current innovations or projects, future directions if you can find out, and something about the corporate culture. That way you can tailor your answers to the likely questions to show that you "fit in" with the organisation, and that you know a little about what they do.
