Episode 36 | Your First Interview | Part 2 - Three Interviewing Skills To Bring To Your First Interview
The Art Of The InterviewShow Notes
Oh no! You've been asked or assigned to do an interview for your company, business, or for a friend. And let me guess, you don't even know where to start!
Well, you could start here. In this episode, I talk through three of the most skills that you can bring to your first interview:
How to direct your interviewee
How to write good questions
How to get your interviewee to tell you what you're looking for (and how not to do it!)
These are three of the foundational skills, in my opinion, to being a great interviewer.

Everyone knows the experience of sitting across from someone who you disagree with and feel animosity towards.
