[QUOTE="bangarangbass39, post: 174566, member: 30928"] I think people get nervous and don’t want to give a bad image or anything. In my AC which was not a US or MC/SC but a European firm, everyone was silent. Especially when we were with trainees who were just chatting to us at the end of the whole process for like an hour. The trainees had to force convo. It sucked but I realised people were nervous, and I knew this because so was I. I tried really hard to be talkative and asked loads of questions but felt I was dominating which isn’t a good thing to show. Looking back it’s good to be that way. Asking questions, talking about anything. Breaking the silence and stopping the white noise creeping in. Without doing It’s bad, because you either come off like the person said - competitive and self centered. Or you just seem stuck in your head. I think that’s even worse because the weight of the occasion is so much that not talking to anyone makes the process even more dreadful. I will admit some people are just arrogant. But again I think it’s a facade. People are nervous and slightly insecure because of the dynamic so they’ll project something that won’t help them. [/QUOTE]
