When in an interview, ask what you want to know but really let the person talk because you might discover areas of unanticipated information. Note your reactions on an objective level, but don t ignore personal feelings. What you naturally flow toward or away from is very important. Find out if the interviewee has any insight into the best way to qualify for a position such as the one you are discussing. Talking to people doesn t have to be a formal process or one you practice only when job hunting.
Most people enjoy talking about the work they do.
Curiosity can open a lot of doors.
