I DO feel for some of y'all whose employment depends on the "whim" of your employer/interviewer. I too , once , as a real estate broker, and in the employ of a major residential firm and during the "Carter" years where home mortgages were in the high 15's, decided to go it on my own. There is NO GREATER satisfaction than having to answer to no one except your client. It's sink or swim and ONE HELL OF a dose of reality. Iv'e fixed toilets and built mansions, and still do ( mostly the toilets scenario lately ), and, this close to "the end" I take what comes along.
AND, having said ALL that, GOOD LUCK on your interview Dave.
