Basic and simple, right? No!

I don't know what it is but I often come across seasoned candidates vying for Senior Design manager positions who believe it's almost fashionable not to be "over prepared" - So they will act clumsy, stressed and almost too busy to be bothered about doing this interview :) Statements like "I have been too busy to spend time updating my portfolio" ... or .... "I couldn't pull together the data to talk about how this improved the user's experience or business's bottom line"

Argh!
