interviewing

The first question, the one people prepare least, and the only one where you choose what the rest of the interview is about. Two minutes, ending on something you want to be asked about.

A screening question that filters out people who have read about the field rather than looked at it. The answer that fails is a list of tools; the one that works describes who you serve and what you are on the hook for.

The question is really whether you learn deliberately or absorb whatever passes by. One specific thing learned recently, with why you picked it and what you did with it, beats any list of newsletters.
