i do this!

Look at them and notice something that they actively chose today. Easy ones are like clothes, bags, jewlery, makeup or whatever. But you’d probably have even better luck with like if they’re holding a shopping bag or a book or a cup of coffee or the keychain on their keys. idk those are just the examples I thought of. But basically that’s something intentional, so that’s something they will have thoughts/feelings/opinions on. Ask a question or make a comment that requires them to reveal that. Like a question you would want someone in your life to ask you about something that you put energy towards, yk? Like for me I always want to talk to people about books I’ve read or that theyve read. Or when Im holding a food or drink I probably could talk about why I wanted that. But the most important part dude. Is to gauge reaction after that. If they wanna talk more then yay. If not, you gotta let it go don’t push. It’s a them thing, not a you thing.

talk about what other people want to talk about

Best way to discover the early sparks of friendships, in my experience, is to be genuinely curious about those you happen across. Ask them questions. Find out and ask about their "true self" list of conversation topics. As you probe and listen and make space for them to talk with a long runway, they'll likely do the same. If not, no worries, there's always someone else.

Ask them to talk about how they got started at the company / what theyre favorite aspects of the job are

Really great question because 1) it is very useful for you, you can get a lot of information about a place by how someone talks about where they work 2) it turns the interview into more of a conversation which is what you want 3) it always goes over well because people LOVEEE to talk about themselves, arguably the most important point. your interview is probably nervous too or tired of doing interviews. They love to be out of the hot seat

I enjoy the bizarre

I will always have an interest in the media people often deemed too crude to the senses or unconventional to marketability. Sometimes art is an exercise in vision not necessarily practicality or approval
