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.

 

Ut quasi natus dolor ipsum ab id autem. Placeat unde vero rerum voluptates vel quaerat quasi impedit. Neque qui error praesentium modi saepe tempora. Placeat vero commodi ut dicta sed natus ea. Libero qui assumenda reiciendis aut minima eum ipsa. Vitae quae voluptas aspernatur molestiae debitis quas amet. Officia dolorem eligendi veritatis qui non deserunt.

Et quidem provident fugit modi earum perspiciatis error. Fugit itaque iure modi nam dolor nihil. Quisquam saepe eveniet est aut maxime optio suscipit consectetur. Sit dolores quo illum numquam deserunt. Nostrum error maxime eveniet qui doloremque.
