    I’m not a manager but I’ve sat in on lots of interviews. I think the best candidates I’ve ever seen are the ones that are very conversational and talk like they’ve already worked there for a month. Sometimes candidates like that start an answer and we trail off, kind of shooting the shit (still talking about workb related stuff), and barely get through half the planned questions. Ones that get all the way through the questions aren’t necessarily bad but they’re very succinct and sound much more rehearsed, like it was an oral exam.

    Just my 2 cents. Managers in here may totally contradict me.
