So
how long should your answers be to general interview questions? I
would say that a good length for an interview answer is going to be
about 30 seconds to at most 2 minutes. If you can keep most of your
answers to about a minute, that's a good place to be. You basically
want to have enough time to give a strong, solid one sentence
headline answer, then follow up with a couple of piece evidence that
re-enforce that headline and then give it a one sentence conclusion
that reconnects to what you said to the interviewer and to the
company
