I have an interview this Friday and am re-reading lots of online interview advice since its the first real interview I've had ever. I don't count the interviews I did when I was a college grad. I would probably refer to a book of posts if there was such a thing :P Awesome advice!

Attention spans have shrunk since then, so I think your idea of having one-minute stories to answer the generic getting-to-know-you questions is dynamite. Practice with Twitter. See if you can tell a story with those 140 characters! When I taught public speaking in the 80s, we had our students craft two-minute stories with a call to action at the end.
