When he is at his best in the interview
  • Responds directly and unselfconsciously to questions
  • Most comfortable when the interview follows a structured format rather than being casual or informal
  • Not afraid to express his differences with the interviewer
  • Not afraid to discuss remuneration issues, particularly where these are related to competitive achievement
  • Likely to come across in the interview process as an energetic candidate
  • May appear self-critical during the interview, though this may well be the result of the high standards he sets himself
  • May well address two or more topics at the same time during the interview process
  • Sometimes has a slightly unorthodox way of looking at things which may become apparent during the interview 

When he is less at ease in the interview
  • Can be too direct and forthright

  • May become unexpectedly domineering, particularly if annoyed by some aspect of the interview
  • May appear over-eager when money matters are raised
