Interviews are not something to be dreaded or nervous about. Interviews are done so the employer would get to know the applicant. If you're too tense, that might give the employer a wring impression about you. Just relax, keep the conversation light and answer what is asked. Enjoy the interview while being very professional throughout the interview. So true. Interviews are not something to be dreaded or nervous about.

My goal on the interview is to figure out "how do you mean/think". Great blog! Thank you so much!

Hence a conversational way of interview yields best results rather than 'I shoot you save' kind of interviewer where interviewer’s ego over takes over. When interview becomes conversation, we get ample opportunity to understand candidate better. At fist place the candidates becomes comfortable and talks his heart out. That is precisely what interviewer wants know - what's in candidate’s heart? What does he like? What makes him happy? What sort of things make him react?

As interviewer, I have used many of the techniques here on your site. Having been on both sides of the table in the past year, I found it easier to incorporate your suggestions and techniques when I was the interviewer, likely because I could drive the conversation easier from there. And though I think most of us know in the back of our minds, as interviewees, that if the interview is more conversational it will go better, it can be hard to accomplish. Any technique that may help ease our anxiety is worth sharing. I couldn’t agree more. As interviewer, I have used many of the techniques here on your site.
