What are your general comments?
the interview was non-confrontational and very pleasant. it would have lasted only 15 minutes, but I made a point to bring up several aspects of my application that I felt needed to be addressed (weaknesses that were not mentioned, some of my most important strengths and why UC is the perfect fit for me) and turned my interview into a conversation. remember to sell yourself, and bring up each weakness in your app and what you did to overcome them.
