Getting Close for Profiles

Here's an interesting autobiographical piece written by Lisa DePaulo about how she approaches profile assignments.

"Do not promise anything you can't or won't or shouldn't deliver. (Especially in writing.) Basically need promise anything but fairness. Always offer to talk to anyone they think you should talk to--but never promise to not talk to people they might not want you to talk to. And try to get them to really let you into their world. Or close to it."
