Venting before a job interview

Don't know why I am feeling kind of stressed by this pending interview. Don't really feel like preparing for it because I already spent time preparing for the previous two. It gets so tiring trying to prove yourself to different people over an over again. Maybe because I am Chinese, it feels so unnatural to brag about what a great person I am, what wonderful qualities I have and how smart I am, why everyone should hire me...
Those interview questions are really silly, there is no way they can figure out whether you will be able to do a good job in the future. Your technical qualification is all there in your resume, the only think they need to do is to meet you and make sure you are not a nut case (that's hard to determine too sometimes). The rest is just a waste of time.
All the wonderful questions that HR people dream up (because without them they would not have a job), only separates those who can BS really well from the ones who can't. Personally I would rather take the person who can't BS, because then I can rely on him/her to tell me the truth in the future.
