Don't discount the HR stuff as less important. E.g. the infamous "what's one word that describes you". Answer it with your one word like "professionalism" or whatever but also have a scenario where you earned it. If you just say "professionalism" and move on, you missed an opportunity to show the interviewer your personality and to sell yourself as a professional.

Not sure if you are going for RTP, cadet or a first officer gig but I dramatically overprepared (studied for a RTP 30 question written tech as if it were a full on oral exam like a 1500 hr ATP candidate). Knowing I would catch the curve balls made me more comfortable and able to come off as "the kind of guy we want to fly a 4 day with" which seems to be the most crucial metric. That and weather planning.
