Essentially it’s “one person asking questions and another answering.”

In this process, I want you to think about interviews as “One person asking questions, and the other answering but strategically injecting pre-planned answers that add value to BOTH parties.”

What do most people want when they come to work with me?

They want to:

-Feel more relaxed

-Feel comfortable

-Feel confident

-Feel in control

Those are great goals. But, it is important to separate the way something feels from the way it looks and is perceived. You can feel nervous and look completely relaxed. You can feel relaxed yet look nervous.

Here’s the takeaway:

If you appear relaxed or comfortable,
you get credit for being relaxed and comfortable.
