Ever struggled to open up someone in an interview? It's frustrating, right? There are some solid ways to make it easier—believe me. Here’s how I get people talking: 1⃣Record early and stick around after. You’ll catch those genuine moments outside the "official" chat (and don't publish unless you ask for permission! Don't be a prick) 2⃣Break down the tech setup. Explain the equipment so it’s not intimidating. 3⃣Share a bit about yourself first, maybe throw in a joke. Yep, it's simple. But simple does it. And practice. A lot of practice 😅 Try it and you’ll turn awkward interviews into real conversations. (Oh and when you do, share that conversation with the rest of us🫶) Mikkel Svold Montanus

If you are the interviewer and you don’t give folks grace then you shouldn’t be interviewing. You know the difference between someone who didn’t have their best moment vs. someone who is inconsistent throughout the entire interview.

After multiple interviews, I discovered strategies that work for introverts like me. I'm sharing these hoping they'll help others facing the same challenges.
