What are your general comments?

"Weird. My interviewer was pleasant, but seemed at best impartial and at worst disinterested. Twice he answered the questions he asked me, "So then, I guess the reason you did xxxxx was because of xxxxx. Is this right?" He was right both times, but it left little room for me to elborate. That combined with his detached manner made for an opaque and cool interview, where I felt loquacious. Wasn't sure if I should tone it down to be in stride with the tenor he set, but then I thought, "whatever" and decided to just be myself. I left having no good feel on how I did." Report Response
