Frequently I will have an interview with a hiring manager that last only for 30 minutes. The person will say they want to discuss: my background, my work, my method of working, a discussion of the company and the role, and then they answer my questions if there's time. Then they begin by either giving a brief explanation of their background or a review of the company, or both. Often, we seem to run out of time before getting to all the questions. 30 minutes might be too short of a time to get through it, but I didn't set it up.

As with many situations, it's a balancing act. There's a difference between giving a sufficient explanation, and being too wordy. You can answer briefly but fully, and then indicate that you'd be happy to expand on your answer if time permits. Try to keep a feel for how much time remains (without resorting to looking at a watch), then use your time efficiently. answered Jun 3 '19 at 23:36 Joe Strazzere Joe Strazzere 320k 169 gold badges 950 silver badges 1299 bronze badges It sounds like you're getting ready for a behavioral interview (prompts like "Tell me about a time you worked with a team" or "tell me about your last project").
