That allows you to give much more natural answers and come across as personable. 2) Don't assume the interviewer knows what you're talking about - always explain industry terms or company specific terms (just because one company names something a certain way, it doesn't mean that anyone else will know what you're talking about). There's nothing worse than the person giving you a confused look as you're halfway through an answer and having to go back and explain yourself I’d add:
