Post interview - awaiting results

Hi everyone
I had an interview on Wednesday which I felt went OK. Reason I say just OK was that it only lasted 15 minutes or so, and I had prepared so many things to say which I didnt get to. Looking back now, I felt I could have answers some of the questions much better with much better examples from my experience. I felt my cheeks burn throughout the interview
lol !
I did the usual follow up email straight after and clarified I am very interested in the role. I got a response from my interviewer within 10 mins of me hitting send saying it was great meeting me and would be in touch soon.
Good or bad thing I dont know. I have had short interviews before and I got the job - and I really like this position so I am praying!
Has anyone else experienced interviews like this - perhaps bit short or they felt they didn't give 100%, did you get the job in the end?
Thanks

Agree with Slinky, depends on the job. I've conducted interviews that have been very short when I've been looking for evidence of a few key competencies and the interviewee has provided that evidence in a concise, factual way. You don't need to have rambled on endlessly to have effectively answered the question. Forgive the cliche, but with interviews it's quality over quantity every time.0
