Very Short Interview, Part 2

My first interview was very insightful. However, I find it interesting that I only asked Mr. Wolf questions about himself. Now, I am inclined to ask some questions that offer advice or perspective for myself as an entrepreneur.

Me: "How has your business been doing over the past three months?"

Mr. Wolf: "Business at the restaurant has been great as it has been the past few years. We are able to be open 7 days per week because we have been so busy since the new year."


Me: "What advice do you have for an up and coming entrepreneur?"

Mr. Wolf: "You must find something that you truly love or something that makes you a lot of money. If you don't have either of these things, you need to find yourself a new entrepreneurial venture. Luckily, I love my restaurant and I have been very successful in recent years so I have no complaints with my business.


Me: "What do you think is an increasingly important aspect of your business?"

Mr. Wolf: "The use of the internet is definitely something that I have tried to incorporate into my restaurant. We do online orders for delivery and I have been looking into a Focaccia Village Pizzeria app so customers can see deals and place orders on their smartphone."


Mr. Wolf did not specifically say that he noticed any differences over the past three months but I could tell that I was more confident in asking Mr. Wolf this round of questions. I would not say that I was nervous for the first interview but I think getting advice in this second interview as opposed to simply asking Mr. Wolf about his business will be more beneficial for me. I've come a long way in my interview skills and communication since three months ago and especially before this course.
