Welcome to your interview.

The question is on your right: Handle a Rushed Interviewer. Take a moment with it first.

Talk your thinking through with me if you like - when you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes). Discussion and graded submissions share your five interviewer interactions, so spend them well.

Problem

Scenario

You're in the middle of an interview and notice the interviewer seems distracted, short on time, or uninterested. You still want to communicate effectively, stay professional, and make sure your key points land without forcing a long answer they may not want.

Question

How would you respond if the interviewer seemed uninterested or rushed?
