Ask big picture questions. Good to show you're interested in the long term goals and that's something someone high up could realistically answer. How did you get to where you are and what sort of thing s do you look for in someone at my level? Then reiterate how you check this boxes

Short / succinct and clear answers. Do not belabor a point or ramble (hard to manage as it's usually the result of being nervous). They are people too, honestly. Take your anxiety down a notch if you can. Make bullet point style notes of things you want to say to help you keep it short and sweet. Keep your resume right in front of you as well as a cheat sheet. Don't rush. They ask you something, you take a deep breath, exhale and then speak. It's not as long as it might appear in your head. They are not going to drill you, this is more of a personality fit thing and checking a box for them.

on the way to an interview this morning eating a sandwich. I walked past a homeless man who had a stray cat perched on his lap. He asked for a bite of sandwich to feed them both as they hadn’t eaten in days. I gave the whole sandwich over and headed off to the interview. As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat. Truly inspirational when you work hard

I know I will get hated by saying this. Do you think gay pride events are portraying a bad image about our community to public? (Drugs, sexual, inappropriate clothes, and sometimes like strip clubs- some parts). I know it is right to present us but I just feel it is not the right way to show who we are. I wish the pride where everybody can connect in a more friendly way (outdoor game- team work, dance, drink something not too sexual.) there are some good parts of pride tho. Any opinions?
