With the risk of totally destroying any small talk or conversation opener, here are a few questions and answers!

Professional

Q. What is your work experience and education?

Check out my LinkedIn.

Q. Are you open for new positions?

If I am, I'll shout on LinkedIn. At the moment, I'm not actively looking. My current role at Volvo Cars checks all the boxes for me right now. Most of the cold-calls I get don't make any sense career-wise for me, so please do your research.

Q. Are you open for Mentorship?

Mentorship is a two way street, so if I can map it to my personal growth plan, I'm interested. A good way to see what I'm interested to learn is to check out my notes which show the areas I am learning.

Q. Can you refer me to your current company?

I stopped doing referrals since 2018 for these reasons:

Writing

See the Blog FAQ.

Personal

Q. How old are you?

Mind the bias.

Q. Where are you from?

Mind another bias (to be written and linked)

Q. Are you married? Do you have kids?

Happily married and have 2 kids.

Q. Where do you live?

Currently I'm based in Stockholm, Sweden.
