What are your general comments?

my interviewer was promt and seemed very interested in the whole process. he was there only to find out about me beyond my file, not to test me in any way. he truly fulfilled the "advocate" role that mcv describes. we talked about subjects from acc basketball to invading the white house with jaques chirac. the interview lasted on hour and 15 mins.
