Using silence to get someone else to keep talking is a great trick, but what's better is knowing when someone is trying it on you and waiting them out.

Had a phone interview today and the interviewer kept trying to do that after I answered one of his questions. There would be a very long pause after I was done talking. I can only guess he was trying to use that little psychology trick to get me to go into further detail when I didn't have any to go into; he only did this during the 20 min Q&A portion. I waited him out each time and he didn't really seem ready for it. Paid off and I have an interview in office scheduled for next week.
