Informational chats
You asked for time — now make it count.
- Agenda (15–20 min):
- 2 min: thanks + context.
- 10–12 min: questions (prioritize).
- 3–5 min: next steps + help you can offer.
- Question bank:
- “If you were me, what one project would best signal fit for your team?”
- “What surprised you about this role after joining?”
- “Which skills would get someone promoted here?”
- Close strong: ask “Anyone else I should talk to?” and “May I keep you posted?”
Send a same-day thank-you with one sentence on what you’ll do next.
