[QUOTE="Nat000, post: 39415, member: 5057"] With respect, that last bit isn't correct. Your personal opinion, e.g. political leaning, doesn't matter. But if you offer an argument in defence of a view you hold (that you've mentioned because it's relevant to the article), the partner will try to pick it apart. They play devil's advocate and what they, or you, think doesn't matter - it's just a matter of how well you can defend yourself, or acknowledge when you're wrong. For the first part of your comment, I definitely agree that it's great if your personality meshes with your interviewer's. But it doesn't have to come down to shared interests. I've had three separate interviews at Slaughters across the whole VS/TC process, with a total of five different people, and I didn't have anything at all in common with most of them. But I was friendly, smiled a lot, and that's all it really takes for most people to to away thinking 'they seemed nice.' You don't need to both be interested in football or whatever to get along with someone. [/QUOTE]
