A hiring manager usually looks for three simple things: Can you do the job? Will you be easy to work with? Do you actually want this job?
Your answers are important, but small things matter too. Do you listen carefully? Can you explain your work clearly? Can you admit when you don't know something?
One thing people often miss: they are also watching how you think when you get an unexpected interview question. You don’t need perfect answers. Showing a clear thought process can be more useful than trying to sound impressive.
