If you talk very fast and non stopping during an interview (for example, over 5 mins on one topic), is that ok?

Only if you maintain eye contact the whole time and don’t blink at all

Overall though it’s not the best approach to an interview. Very few questions take 5 minutes to cover a topic

Probably not. Exceptions are possible but seem unlikely

Depends. Was the ask by the interviewer to rap for 5 minutes. If no, then I’d suggest you take a breather after a couple of sentences.

funny

it depends

Seems excessive. Definitely not a ‘conversation’. Although if nobody interrupts you maybe your dialogue is very compelling.

What position are you applying for?

So I have recently joined a startup in the EV space. It's a SPAC, so it's a crazy ride. I interviewed for a top HR job, but they offered me a second-in-command opportunity, and I took it. Overall, I love it. However, I recently got an opportunity to join crypto-NFT startup as a top HR. My current startup is well funded, sales could be better, but we just acquired a company to help us to progress with them. The leadership team is strong, but a bit on the boomer-ish side of things.
