🤔 Brief Reflection

I was interviewed.

At the invitation of a video planner I met at a Munto gathering.

Maybe because that person is also an INT(F)P like me, there were many things that clicked between us, so we had good chemistry, and thanks to that the meal + cafe interview was enjoyable throughout.

Honestly, to put it a bit humbly, my life is nothing special, but being asked in depth in the form of an interview somehow made me feel like I had achieved something great or had some grand mission. Maybe it was because her reactions were so good.

Anyway, as I prepare for a startup, there will probably be many times when I both conduct and receive interviews.

I hope today’s precious experience gives me good inspiration then.
