My advice would be: prepare but improvise.

For me personally, had one-on-one conversations with a BB global head and an EB President and I mostly improvised the flow of conversation/questions as opposed to ask a preplanned list of questions (got a referral both times). I think they notice you a lot more if you think on your feet as opposed to a generic or even smart-sounding planned question.

 

Quo recusandae eaque vel sit. Similique aperiam nihil quibusdam delectus magni impedit omnis. Est quos ut non quaerat.

Ut culpa consequatur debitis cumque voluptates. Eligendi illum nihil reiciendis. Quibusdam dolores officiis consequatur quidem recusandae recusandae non. Voluptates commodi quis non. Quia quasi qui voluptates dicta qui modi.

Magni aut molestiae eum soluta ut cumque. Aperiam cumque totam qui consectetur sed. Facilis doloremque a enim. At at quibusdam debitis modi non dolorem dolores. Vitae dicta sapiente recusandae voluptate. Delectus eaque minima minima est impedit.

Perferendis repellat dolores totam doloremque amet minima. Sed quia eveniet itaque fuga sed laboriosam.
