How do you start a short interview?

NNoorStart of the conversation

We're looking for a simple structure for a first conversation. I'm curious how others see this. A small example or an experience is enough to get the conversation going.

A work log is an ordinary topic: you write down what you did, what worked and where you got stuck. Others reply below with tips.

Start with one concrete moment and one clear question. That gives a pleasant starting point.

Thanks, that makes the first step much clearer.
