Sometimes when I go for a job, I get a separate, chatty interview with someone vaguelly from HR, which is referred to with words like "fit" and "culture" and "team" and so on. It always seems like just a bit of blarney.

Do companies pick and choose between candidates because of these interviews, and does it matter what you say (as long as you don't go wild and tell them you're a terrorist or anything)?
