What are your general comments?

my first interviewer was a bit intimidating.. he didn't let me explain any of my answers fully, just kept cutting me off & going on to the next question.. however, my second interviewer was GREAT... she genuinely wanted to know about who I am & what I love to do & so forth... my last interviewer-a student didn't show up... so they told me to go home
