Use your professional network or an online social network to find a performance practitioner who will meet you.
In the interview ask two basic questions. Then, follow-up with any other questions that occur to you. In particular, ask questions about how work gets assigned, how decisions get made, and how practitioners position themselves to be sought-after professionals.
There are two primary questions to ask are:
1. Do you really get a chance to do all this performance analysis work before diving into the design and development portion of the task?
2. How do you stay current in the field?
