Informational Interviewing
Informational interviewing is a strategy you can use to research certain career fields or opportunities within a particular organization. They provide an opportunity for you to inquire about skill and educational requirements, daily responsibilities, related occupations, typical career paths, and what is most and least satisfying about the work. In addition, informational interviews allow you to observe the work environment, obtain information about the general working conditions, and inquire about information not readily available in books or online.
Informational interviewing is not an interview for a job. It can, however, help you focus your job search and assist you in developing important networking relationships within the world of work. Effective use of informational interviewing can help you make important decisions about your career.
