Informational Interviews
Informational interviews, which are just like they sound, are an effective way to meet professionals who are doing the work that you want to do, and find out about them and their job.
You can learn what these individuals’ responsibilities are, what their typical workdays are like, what their backgrounds are, and other related information.
With the knowledge you gain from interviewing professionals, you can use much better judgment and make a more informed decision on a career path.
How to set up and conduct an informational interview:
1. Find professionals (search for more than one for more objectivity) in your area that are in a career position in which you may like to eventually find yourself.
2. Call or e-mail them, introduce yourself, offer your background, and ask them if they might be willing to meet with you (or talk over the phone) for twenty minutes to share information about the work that they do.
3. In the interviews, ask questions which will have a direct impact on your decision-making process for how you will choose your career track. Especially consider asking about each individual’s work and educational background, and how they got to the positions that they are in now.
4. Always follow up with a thank you letter or e-mail.
