Pauses and Silences are Okay

There are going to be a lot of periods during an interview when there are going to be
pauses in conversation or flat out silence.  This can be initiated by you or the interviewer
and in most cases either is not an indicator that something is amiss.

You can ask for a moment to think of an answer and during this time there is most likely
going to be complete silence.  This is fine and perfectly normal, don’t get distracted
because no one is talking, use the time you have asked for wisely and think of the best
answer or example you can give.
