Best Chat

Hi Guys,

Curious to hear how some of your best phone call/ Coffee chats were like.

Were they informal or work oriented? How long is the call? What made it memorable? Did you prep questions ahead of time, or was it more spontaneous? Thanks.

I always try to prep for an interview with the background of the other person and some questions (4-6) about their background. The better ones usually last 30 min + and go off on tangents about similar interests, views on the economy and advice about the role I'm interested in. Basically, definitely be prepared but the best interviews come spontaneous
