Thanks.  I have to admit that in this particular situation it was relatively easy for me to handle this the way I did.  After all, as students we were constantly coached on how to show our worth in interview situations and we were on "my" home turf.

It also helped to know that Career Services was a few feet away.

If only the real world was as accommodating - most of the time I think of the right response a couple of days later and then want to kick myself.
