[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 230071, member: 42112"] Hello! This is actually very common and I wouldn't say it is a bad sign at all. If you are asked follow-up questions, this usually means that the interviewer was engaged with your answers and wanted to understand your thinking more clearly, not that you were "failing" to answer correctly. If your responses were way off base or uninteresting, they likely would have moved on rather than probing further! I've found in past interviews that some interviewers deliberately use this style of interviewing to see how candidates think and communicate when prompted. It's also worth remembering that interviews rarely feel as good as they look from the other side. I remember thinking my Reed Smith interview wasn't great, but it worked out in the end! Hindsight is a wonderful thing, and looking back, it can definitely feel like answers were incomplete - however, that doesn't mean that is how your answers were perceived by the interviewers. Until you hear back, I'd try not to read too much into one aspect of the interview - there are many factors that are involved! :) [/QUOTE]
