Nobody will ever tell you this and this may probably be the first time you will hear this kind of expert analysis and angle of thought. Have you ever thought how long should an interview answer be? You know the people interviewing you are human beings with feelings just like you. The first thing you should do before answering a question is to put yourself in the interviewers shoes and think about what he will have wanted to hear. When you are in a group of students or job seekers, just try a prank interview or a dummy panel. Interview one of you and listen to the way he answers questions. Be very frank and tell him how interesting or boring they were when responding to them. The longer the responses the more boring it is but don’t be certain about this though because some questions may require long answers like those that may require technical expertise.
