INTERVIEWING AMAZING PEOPLE
I’ve had the opportunity to interview some truly amazing people lately. Last week, I wrote about why I love my job so much, and this is one of the main reasons: the chance to sit down and talk with people. Now, I’m the first to admit I’m not the world’s best interviewer, but I’d like to think I’ve improved at asking the right questions over … Continue reading INTERVIEWING AMAZING PEOPLE
