Everyone takes interviews. Doctors, lawyers, teachers, recruiters, social workers, writers... Each of us finds ourselves in situations where we need to talk to a stranger, hold a meeting, undergo an interview, or obtain some important information. Of course, you can rely on luck, but if you spend a little time on preparation, the result will be much more impressive. Dean Nelson is an American journalist with forty years of experience, published in The New York Times, The Boston Globe and USA Today, and has interviewed many famous people, in particular with writers Ray Bradbury, Joyce Carol Oates, Carlos Ruiz Zafon, poet Billy Collins, former Mexican President Vicente Fox Quesada, actor, director and screenwriter Thomas McCarthy and basketball player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. In this book, he shares professional secrets: how to choose the right meeting place, ask “uncomfortable” questions, how to talk with an idol or someone who causes hostility, find the right wording and build a successful conversation pattern. “The ability to ask good questions in the right order, which leads to a deeper understanding of things, will not harm any work and will be useful to literally everyone in life. I have personally had the opportunity to observe how this happens with a wide variety of people and in almost any professional environment" (Dean Nelson).
