A few prompts I use as a reference during meetings. Human interactions are most times unpredictable, so it will be up to you to pick and choose how to navigate, follow up, and combine these conversation starters.
- In which part of the process of building services do you see yourself?
- What do you feel your most significant strengths are?
- What would your instructors and peers say about you?
- What made you choose this path? – Tell me how you got here/background
- What’s your favorite part about building products? The most challenging part for you?
- What companies do you like?
- What do you like about this company?
- Where do you see yourself in 5/10 years? What kind of environment do you want to work in?
- What kind of team would you assemble to get things done? (dynamics, traits, strengths)
- What were your most outstanding achievements in your career?
- What was your favorite project? What made you proud?
- How much experience do you have with user research?
- How do you communicate with other teams in the organization that might not have the same competencies?
