From personal experience, interviews hate when you're not listening closely! This applies for both fit questions and case studies.

I am big fan of stories from trenches and case studies - both successful and fiasco. It really adds more colors and proves you have been around... Good stuff!

It's about giving the recruiter a concise answer while still providing him useful context about yourself that differentiates you from the long line of other applicants. Being prepared is key, but one should always pay attention to the exact question asked and not simply blurt out the ready-made answer. Few things bug a recruiter more than an applicant who doesn't precisely answer their questions. Spot on, Kevin!
