The Art of Informational Interviewing

About This Event:

Informational interviews are common practice in today’s economy. Many career guides sing of their importance; however, it is hard to find direction on how to find the right people to talk to, what to say when you get in the room, and how to make sure you get the information you need.

Why It Matters?

Informational interviews are often pitched as a covert interview, with little emphasis on the information you can gain. However, this mindset guarantees that you will miss a valuable opportunity to ask poignant questions that will help you discover, and navigate, the landscape of your chosen field.

If you know how to manage them properly, effective informational interviews can provide you with nuanced insight and advice, new relationships and connections to decision makers, feedback and more. With proper execution, you can obtain the access capital you need to understand an industry that might otherwise feel closed-off, chaotic and overwhelming. After all, career success is the product of relationship building and negotiating with the individuals who hold the opportunities critical to your success.
