There are a ton of topics I learn/read on a daily basis. Some are out of my personal interest, some out of need (when interviewing).

I notice that after a while, without enough usage, these topics simply evaporate from my memory. I know the simple answer is to keep practicing.

I’m interested in knowing how different people do this. Looking for any tips, hacks, etc.

Some interviewers are great - they are patient, let you talk, are genuinely curious about your previous work, and ask questions such that the interview is meaningful for both parties.

On the other hand, I frequently come across some inexperienced interviewers (often young, or early in their career). They interrupt you before you finish, ask obscure questions, and try to assert that your professional experience and knowledge is somehow inferior to theirs (or at least make you feel that way).

I feel excited about challenging questions/interviews but sessions with such folks (over the phone, or in person) are always disappointing, and negatively impact the interview outcome. I was wondering if there are any tips on how to handle such interviewers.
