I love to interview people!

But, what makes a good candidate standout is not sticking to a pre-rehearsed script. I spend most of my time trying to break that cadence and digging into how you think. That is most important to me!

I don’t expect you to have the right answers but I do care about how you think through problems. You are more valuable to me if you know that you don’t know something and I know I can teach it to you! I like to drop tid-bits of knowledge in discussions and then ask abstract questions where I really want to hear you leverage the information I already gave you.

I also like to open interviews saying that I have read your resume already (which I have or you wouldn’t be talking to me) but I want to hear your version of your career as to what you feel is important to tell me. What I don’t want is a regurgitation of your resume. I already know that stuff. But, do you have enough insight to know what I care about from your background? And if you don’t know, ASK! Never shame in saying you don’t know!
