      There are things I have shockingly low experience of, like interviewing for jobs. I’ve only had 4 in my life. It’s also weird that in the high skill information economy, you’re likely to get about 3x-10x more experience interviewing than being interviewed. If you’re any good.

      Guessing that’s only full-time employee roles. Isnt every consulting inquiry a job interview?

      not really... inbound is mostly already sold on the value prop and it's mostly a matter of details. Outbound I don't really do much of and that's much more like a pitching process than interview

      Sounds like you’re just doing a good job of pre-selling the interviewer. I get the distinction, but if generalizing about the high-skill info economy, seems more “interviews” will look exactly like your inbound detail calls

      I do no selling. It's all people who come via my blog, so you can think of it as marketing lead-gen rather than than sales

      Join the club. If you don’t consider your blogging to be selling, can we just say your marketing is doing a good job of pre-selling your interviewers?

      Lol, I think that's stretching the definition of interview beyond recognition. By your definition, basically everything is an interview.

      Well, if you mean everything that’s a conversation between a hirer and an individual about whether to do a deal for the individual’s services, yeah

      To be clear, I’m not saying your blogging is interviewing. I’m saying it's pre-sales (marketing, whatevs) for the interview that happens when they contact you

      Sun Tzu Art of Interview... the best interview is the one that's over before you pick up the phone 😎
