> How do you sell yourself?
Don't sell yourself-- nobody wants a supplicant. Convey your Senior status. Focus your conversation on him. What are his priorities? Where are they struggling? Has he put thought into what sort of culture they're trying to build? What does success look like?
You will standout by asking good questions, demonstrating you have a deep understanding of the space. Mindset is important - you're here to determine if this is a good match. He needs to sell you.
