Taylor Desseyn explains why researching your interviewer matters more than most people think. Find personal common ground, like their college football team or favorite food, to shift the whole tone of the conversation before you even start talking about the job.

You gotta do your research. Who are the people you're interviewing with? Do you know where they came from, right? When I say where they came from, I went to South Carolina. I don't like Georgia, but I bet you and I can chop it up about SEC football for a while, right? Probably for the rest of the night. If you get nachos, we can talk about it, right? So— And how we almost beat y'all. But all that being said, right, the fact of the matter is, is that if you were interviewing with me and you said, hey, I saw you went to South Carolina, I went to Georgia, let's talk SEC football, the entire interview would completely flip on its head.
