+1 on feedback. Last time I was interviewing, the first place I interviewed was at a company where I knew the director of engineering from a previous role. I went there to have an informal talk with him and some devs. Later when I sent my resume I was rejected right away. Luckily for me he told me that I came across like a know-it-all crappy dev. He told me why I came across like that and I realized that he was right. It probably saved me a ton of grief in later interviews because I knew what things I needed to do and not do.
