Intern lunch with a hardware VP, questions to ask?

Don't ask questions you can Google. Don't ask questions where the answer is in a book. Don't ask questions where you're looking for or leading with an answer. Ask short questions.

Eat lunch and ask about him. No smart questions. Just be a normal person

I’d hit them with - why are you so awesome?

“What are your biggest challenges?” (listen but don’t try to problem solve). If it’s a technical VP, “Any new tech you’re really excited about?” to open up a more fluid conversation and allow them to discuss something they’re interested in.

Challenge them to promo by combat
