As an interviewee you can use the interviewer's typing as a good signal. When I'm conducting an LP interview and you go off on a tangent that I'm not interested in, I'll stop typing and look up long before I'm likely to interrupt you.

Now I'm not _expecting_ anyone to pick up on that. My point is it's a useful skill to engage (even via zoom) with the other person and develop a feel for how they're processing the info you're giving them. Otherwise the interviewee could just talk to a transcription AI in the first place and the hiring team reads the summary (shudders).

Though now I've said that, someone is probably going to build this nightmare version.

Expecting an interviewee to pick up on that and manage the conversation is completely unrealistic, and it’s unfair to put that on them—if you’re not interested in the direction they took the question, have the guts to say so and redirect them.
