Balancing Preparation and Curiosity for High Stakes Interviews

Preparing for a high stakes interview involves finding a balance between being overly prepped and genuinely listening. By exploring the relationship between curiosity and preparation, the speaker's team develops a research document structured like a three-act story. They focus on understanding the origin, conflict, resolution, and future of the person they are interviewing to create an engaging narrative.

Speaker 2
You're. So let's say you were doing one of these kind of like interviews, your pump for a high stakes interview. Yeah. How do you kind of walk me through how you're preparing for that and how you're like just kind of like getting ready to perform that. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1
Actually, we've been really trying to establish our relationship with PrEP because we found that sometimes if we're overly prepped, I'm barely listening to the other person. I just know where I'm going. That's talking point. Yeah. I know where I'm going. And also how much of them I listen to prior. Cause if I know their stories, I know their beats, I'm kind of like, right, you know, bit curiosity, yeah, the curiosity way. And so I've been trying to explore that relationship. We do have it. Like we have a team that essentially develops a research doc, like we've someone on our team who does that. And so he's like, here's, here's kind of like some origin story. And we, we structure it like a act one, act two, act three structure. Where, where is their origin story? What's the inflection point? Right. Where has that put them today? Right. Cause it's like, what was the tense part of the journey? What, what didn't work for them? Do we know any of that? Is there something we can ask about that creates an inflection point? Cause we are trying to tell a story with it. Yeah. So we need to know the general themes of what's happening in the origin, right? The act one, what's happening in the conflict, the act two, and then the resolution and the future. Right. Um, so that's like the most. I'm doing all the details without knowing all the details. Yeah. Um, so yeah, we're trying to establish a new relationship with that of how much is it like curiosity and how much is it prep?
