Quick-fire questions with Cory
Potentia
What's a technology that gives you the most joy to use?
Cory
ChatGPT...I do find it fascinating and enjoyable to work with while working remote.
Potentia
If you could share a meal with anyone in history. Who would it be and why?
Cory
I'd pick Marie Antoinette. She's like the queen of fancy stuff and drama. Imagine sitting with her, wearing an old gorgeous dress (that probably took a good 30 minutes to put on and tighten), chatting about all the royal gossip! I'd expect at least a grand 7 course meal, using all the fancy knives, forks and spoons.
Potentia
What's an industry you would love to learn more about?
Cory
The bicycle manufacturing industry. How to build and fix bikes.
Potentia
It’s a sunny day, you have no plans for the next 12 hours... Where do you go and what do you do?
Cory
Go hiking in the Ruahine forest.
Potentia
What do you think is the most important skill for interviewing?
Cory
Active listening. It's not just about hearing the words, it's about getting what the person is saying, processing it and responding in a way that shows you're tuned in and engaged.
