An Interview with Cal Fussman

“I’ve always felt people are more apt to give good answers when they’re relaxed, and that they can become relaxed when they see that you’re relaxed. My goal is always to make people forget they’re being interviewed.”

“Walk into an interview with 100 questions in your head. Do not bring in any notes. Notes remind people that they’re being interviewed. Use two tape recorders so you can relax and won’t have to look over and check that they’re running properly.”

“I rarely ask a question that can be answered with a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’.”
