You in cahoots with my wife, aren't you?  As soon as I finished reading your
post she asked if I wanted to go to Barnes & Noble :^)  Guess I'll be
looking for "How to Win Friends...".  I'm really curious why he wouldn't
support my last point.  

Although I can easily get an interviewer to take pride in his company, and
talk at length about it, I am the polar opposite.  I'm not quite as wordy in
person as I am on this list.  So, in my experience, I feel uncomfortable
when someone talks for three minutes about their latest project, and I
respond with "Yup".

Of course this is an exaggeration, but I sometimes feel like an interviewer
is selling me more on his or her product, than I am in selling him or her on
hiring me.

Off to go book-shopping...
