Wait…how did you know that about me? Did you do research about me beforehand?
I said those same words to Christian Petrigal in our very first mentoring meeting phone call. Christian did all this research about me by looking me up on #LinkedIn, as well as what Lockheed Martin does.
He asked targeted questions like: “When did you decide you wanted to become a Project Manager?”
For Week 44 of #Round2 of my #52WeekChallenge, the tip is: “Do your research before you talk to someone.”
This applies to a #mentoring meeting, to a presentation where someone’s giving a speech, or when you go in for a job #interview.
When you listen to someone giving a presentation, do research about them beforehand. Understand WHY they are an expert in what they talk about. Learn about where they came from, their background.
Do your research about the people interviewing you. What positions are they? What are their roles in the company?
Do research about the company. Know what they do. Kw what products they make.
In the comments below, share an example where you did extra research and it paid off at the end.
