So do what polititions do -- answer the question you wished they had asked instead of what they actually asked.

In my case, at most places I've worked I end up being one of the go-to people for gnarly bugs that have stumped the regular crew.

Then during the interview I latch onto any semi-related question and tell my rehearsed story.
