Interviewing is hard. And getting it wrong costs your company a lot of money. Here's how I like to do it:
Sometimes I post things that I'm not 100% sure about. I do this because the Twitter network has historically given me v helpful feedback &/or connected me with real experts. I'm working on a post now that I believe can be the greatest value add of my Twitter 'career' A true…
