But with clients (at least the ones I've dealt with) it is part of your job to educate them.

Question doesn't make sense? Let them know (gently, of course). Fundamental misunderstanding? Same thing. You are speaking from a position of authority.

I suppose you could try to take that posture in an interview but you are gambling on the interviewer being receptive to that approach.

I completely agree. Ostensibly the client should know more because he's the one ordering the product, but the reality is you often need to educate them.

But that just goes to show it's more stressful and difficult than an interview.
