OCI screener, partner has a relatively, but not overly aggressive questioning style, but I answer adequately all his questions and so we're having a perfectly fine (not amazing) interview. As time runs out, he exclaims that he has way too many applicants and resumes and asks me "what do you want me to remember about you?" I reply immediately, "Remember my name." I then give my 15 sec. elevator pitch of how [my name] represents all of these good qualities and how if you hire [my name] those are the qualities you will be hiring." He says smiles and says good answer. Later that night I get a CB voicemail, beginning with "Hey, [my name] I remembered your name!"

Not a specific moment per se, but my interview for my current job stands out in that my interviewers (now supervisors) kept repeating back to me phrases I used in my answers to many of the interview questions, etc.

Best:

OCI screener. Partner ran late and came in with 5 minutes left in the scheduled session. "Sorry I was really late! Like Texas?" "Sure!" "Ok you have a call back."

Worst:

Callback at firm. Hiring partner turns around in the chair and grab a bottle from the bookshelf behind him and take a sip, from the bottle, appears to be scotch. Then says "soooo how is your day going?" This was about 10am.
