the art of interviewing (company edition) w/ matt walsh co-founder of talgo.io

- before interviewing anyone, write a document defining the five or six key results the role must achieve and the cultural traits needed to thrive
- as a candidate expect interviewers to let you talk for minutes without interrupting, so prepare a tight 90 second to three minute story and check in with them
- network your way into roles instead of relying on mass applications, since a trusted referral lets both sides be honest and saves time
- treat most requirements in job descriptions as a kitchen sink wishlist and apply even if you only meet about half of them
- if you want to move teams internally, outperform in your current role and ask both your manager and the target team what results they need to see from you over the next six months
