I learned that I can and should be very brief and specific in my responses. I often try to give a lot of background information or detail that is uncessary and detracts from what I am trying to put across. Most of the time I have a good response to the questions but fluff it up too much.
I also learned that I need to think of more experiences that can be applied to questions in a number of ways. I was lucky and wasn't asked direct questions that I didn't have an answer to, but there were a few that the other people were asked that I would have had no good response for. I need to consider all the experiences I've had and pick out a few that really show who I am. Then I can fit my experiences into the questions they ask, highlighting the aspects that will best answer the question.
I learned that one of my strengths is finishing a response appropriately in a way that indicates I'm done talking. I also learned some good questions to ask at the end of an interview that will be very helpful.
