No Response

What are your general comments?

"Enjoy the interview and show off your passion/enthusiasm. You don't have to let it be a traditional interview, where the interviewer asks you a question and you provide a response. Gauge your interviewer to see how structured he or she wants the interview, but if you can, let it flow like a conversation would. Asks some questions midway through and express how your experiences/thoughts tie in to the interviewer's response. That really helped me spend less time worrying about looking good, and more time feeling good." Report Response
