Actionable Remote Work Lessons from 21 Thought Leaders

 
Remote Weekly Spotlight - Actionable Remote Work Lessons from 21 Thought Leaders
 

In the last 36 months, I've interviewed 86 people, equating a weekly episode for more than half of the last 3 years.⠀

Most recently I hosted Remote Weekly Spotlight: an inside view of remote companies and how to get a job at one.⠀

Interviewing is ONLY learned on the job, & the active listening required is transferable to all communication.⠀

MY TOP 3 INTERVIEW TIPS:

1. DON’T start interviews asking guests to introduce themselves. It’s lazy. You should know enough about your guest to hype them up and it's your responsibility to set the tone. How you start will reflect how long people stay.⠀

2. SEND a pre-interview questionnaire. It helps you craft a narrative for the show, build a relationship, & direct questions. Comment below & I’ll send you the survey my guests fill out so you can use my questions.⠀

3. PREPARE some questions beforehand through research. Go through their online footprint & go a level deeper than others. Discover questions to ask they wouldn’t normally get. For those who are interviewed frequently, it’s frustrating to always answer the same questions.

PS: I’m putting the show on pause for now. I look forward to interviewing again in the future!⠀
