Chug a Red Bull before your next interview. Go off on a tangent. Show them how fun and free-wheeling you can be. Cackle maniacally.
Pretend that this company is your dream college. Would you say something like "I'm interested in this college because..."? No. You would tie your life experiences back to how you would be the perfect fit as a student, you're really excited to join their lacrosse team because it's really strong, etc.. Do the same prep for interviewing, except this time you would be reflecting on your career.
They are looking for you to be more energetic in your conversation. Being personal while interviewing shows how you will connect with the client as well. If you not smiling, using head gestures and not just sitting there, you will come across being what they are looking for. You could have been a little nervous and trying to focus on the interviewing process. Just remember, the process is to show off you!
It doesn’t sound like they phrased it well but for example when I was interviewing for my team I picked a candidate that had energy and positive attitude over someone who did fine at the assignment and interview but was flat. This was purely because I wanted someone that was proactive and excited (as much as you can be for an analyst job) and already had some motivation within.
Fun fact for the accuracy of the story: this one candidate I am thinking about actually turned out to be really not good when we hired her, the attitude was all in the interview but it faded fast once she joined. Usually though, if skills between candidates are on par more or less I will always pick someone that’s more proactive/positive/energetic.
Thanks, helpful and makes sense. I tend to have a bit more of an introverted/reserved personality at first, so trying to get over that and bring my energy level up. I’m well aware of that though and thought I compensated, but apparently still not enough. There’s no doubt in my mind I’m qualified and can perform at a high level in this role (it’s pretty much exactly what I’ve been doing for the past 5 years at another firm), it’s just a matter of selling myself and making the interviewer see that
