Getting to know someone

About this template
Ever feel like most career conversations barely scratch the surface? This template transforms typical questions into meaningful dialogues that reveal how someone really thinks and works.
Direct questions like 'What are your strengths and weaknesses?' often lead to surface-level answers, not because people are being dishonest, but because trust hasn't been built yet. This template helps you shortcut through that by using indirect questions that lead to more authentic answers. For example, asking someone about their ideal project partner naturally reveals their own perceived gaps without the defensiveness that comes with traditional weakness questions.
