Well... it can't be all inspiration either.

The best way I'd say is this... show me how you do, don't tell me what you do.

I get zero sense of your ability if you are just telling me what you do at work. Show me how you to do things in a particular way. This way, I know you actually know your shit instead of just following a SOP. Very often when I interview someone, I don't know the specific answer. When I interview someone who I need them to speak French, I don't know jack about French. But if they can say a few sentences confidently that sounds like French and can even explain it to me, I'd take that they are quite fluent.

Maybe it's got something to do with most of my work as sales. In sales, if you don't know your stuff and just bs-ing, they can tell from a mile away. But if you are just memorizing a sales pitch and not understand it fully, you'd get crushed at Q&A. Whenever I'm doing a pitch, I usually have a very decent idea about the whole thing. Even in case where the proposal is probably 800pages long.
