Yes, depending if you're just fishing around or not, you can either test the limits with your statements or just tell them what you think they want to hear.
I have found it's practical to go on a fishing trip while employed and test the limits, less pressure.
Of course, this can backfire and did for me, but overall it was beneficial.
For example, if it's something like a high street bank, don't mess around, these are highly political institutions, similar can be said for large, established companies.
Sometimes, a wizard is required, sometimes a yes person is required.
It's good if you know some hr people personally as friends, listen to their stories.
