1. I have three interviews lined up in the next week, more if make it to the next round.
2. These are the first ones I've had since 2012. In the interim, there has been a lot of to and fro on the rocking chair, but essentially the landing now is to still remain as a careerist and a salaryman in the short term, though the idea is to find something that gives a lot more satisfaction and contentment.
3. Philosophically, the idea is not revulsive. We find interest and meaning in anything that we do. Creating a high performance team, enabling high performance, and getting high impact results provide a bit of serotonin and dopamine dash. Churning out paperwork and manipulating responses not so.
4. Basics of prepping - essentially will need to flush out expectations from target, maintain interest / attraction to get to next stage, demonstrate ability to think and to provide solutions, prepare elevator pitch. Not my best at interviews - but really the trick is to have the comfort that people are getting to know what you can do, and in a show and tell, the mental state of trying to close a sale is probably the best state to be in.
5. Basically the question to be answered is - Why Me? and the answer damn well not be "that's because I know the people who can do the job!"
6. Tone and tact is important - this is a high level position and the ability to put myself in the same mental state would be crucial. Ask strategic questions, don't get drawn or dragged down too much into miniscule issues. Provide strategic solutions - focusing on bottom line.
