00:00:00.723 --> 00:00:02.717
I think the best advice
we could give to someone

00:00:02.727 --> 00:00:05.775
who's about to conduct their
first election interview is,

00:00:05.785 --> 00:00:09.458
A, treat the interview for
what it is, which is one of, if

00:00:09.468 --> 00:00:12.290
not your most
important responsibilities,

00:00:12.300 --> 00:00:16.601
and then, B, have a plan, practice
the plan, and work the plan.

00:00:16.611 --> 00:00:19.622
In other words, be
intentional about it,

00:00:19.632 --> 00:00:21.811
take the time to thoroughly prepare,

00:00:21.821 --> 00:00:24.697
develop a solid three-dimensional
candidate profile,

00:00:24.707 --> 00:00:27.156
appropriate and legal questions,

00:00:27.166 --> 00:00:29.659
and commit that plan
to paper, because

00:00:30.402 --> 00:00:32.535
it isn't real until
you write it down,

00:00:33.461 --> 00:00:35.698
and then get someone to
role-play with you a few times

00:00:35.708 --> 00:00:38.268
so you can practice
and refine the plan,

00:00:38.278 --> 00:00:40.981
and finally, have the discipline to

00:00:40.991 --> 00:00:43.721
follow that structured
three-dimensional interview plan

00:00:43.731 --> 00:00:46.072
consistently with every candidate.
