All true! Thanks for this summary. I especially love that first one...it's why I recommend against "rehearsing" too much for interviews. It's okay to prepare, so you know what you want to say to common questions, and so you can do it without stumbling too much. However, ultimately, we want to see you, nerves, hiccups, and all. After all, we'll be working with you, not your rehearsed role.

Agreed, but these aren't job interviews ;)

Now I'm wondering if that wasn't clear :/

Ahhh, see, my eyes just skipped over that first paragraph, so I defaulted to the other definiiton of "interviews". LOL!
