In a career spanning decades and over a hundred and forty separate interviews, most of them in a technical discipline and for employers explicitly requesting named technical and business competencies, I can assure you that the dominant theme of every interview is this:
"Reassure us that you are our sort of chap"
All else is peripheral and often so much so that I can say that the initial handshake and 'Good Morning' were the most significant exchange of information in half or more of my successful interviews.
