Much better spending the time on technical aspects and coming up with some practicle applied examples of what you've done before to trot out at the right time during the interview.Coffee's for closersComment

Good tip. Next time I'll try that and the interviewer turns out to be passionate about train spotting or golf I'll say I am too.
Then after starting the gig, I'll just tell them I tried it for the first time the previous week and found it wasn't really "me".Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

When I go to an interview, I like to interview them to figure out if I would like to work with the company.
I find it a nice mindset to put myself in and it quickly gets the interview going.
It build your confidence and hopefully gradual rapport with the client, leaving a lasting impression.Comment

Update!
I didn't get the contract because I did not have enough years of experience on my CV. Apparently I was great and he liked me! Sounds like a poor excuse as he had read my CV and my background is there in black & white! I was not sure I wanted to work in the Public Sector and now I am positive. Bitter me?!?!
At least I had some interview practice so hopefully I will ace the next one!Comment
