Target Executive Team Leader interview questions

I received a phone call after posting my resume on an online database, and was offered an interview for the Executive Team Leader position. I kept in contact via telephone for a week before my interview. The interview consisted of 3 sessions of 2 group interviews with two interviewers each session and one last one on one interview. In each interview, I was asked almost all identical questions that were different only by different wording. All questions were situational questions asking how I handled certain situations. The similar yet different wording made the questions confusing and by the end of the interview I couldn't think straight. My last interviewer told me I would receive a phone call within the next week. However, I received an email a few days later saying they were going to consider other applicants. I would have much rather a phone call declining an offer since before that email, I was only contacted via phone. My advice would be to think of several situations where you solved a problem, caused a problem and how you fixed it, and situations similar to those. Also, I believe they were looking for consistency within the different interviews, by hearing the same stories for each question that was the same yet worded differently.
