[quote=Anonymous]Pp here/VP at Fortune 500. I generally don’t give them to random people who try to connect with me on LinkedIn. I do give them to people I know who are within the company who ask me, or former colleagues from other companies where I’ve worked, etc. I have to have some kind of connection to them beforehand. Also, I probably do maybe 2 of these a month maximum? Not a lot of time. Also, I find the older I get in my career, the more I’m declining some day to day meetings or delegating them to others because I know they’ll be a waste of time. Whenever I’ve had roles where I’m in 8+ meetings a day, I’m miserable. If I’m ever in a project where I have no time for say, three or four months, I definitely won’t do the interviews or I will push them out about a month or so. It’s a matter of priorities. I’d rather do a one on one with a junior colleague, then go to a 20 person meeting where I’m just listening and can get an email update afterwards. [/quote]
