<aside> 👋🏼 Hi friend! Below are example questions for 1:1 meetings during your internship (can also pertain to any time you meet someone new in a professional setting). I usually choose 4-6 questions for a meeting and cater them to the individual. These are my 🤧go-to🤧 questions, and they always lead to a meaningful conversation.
