Mock interviewed a friend who's also job hunting and it helped me way more than it helped them

We agreed to trade mock interviews, one session each, mostly to hold each other accountable. Being on the interviewer side of a behavioral question made me realize how much I ramble when I'm not the one being graded, could hear myself doing the thing I always do when I listened to her answer and thought 'get to the point.' Watching someone else's habits from the outside taught me more about my own than any amount of practicing my own answers did.
