How to Use Informational Interviews to Land Your Dream Job

October 23, 2020 • Kristine • Episode 21

Informational interviews are the best-kept secret in networking.

They are especially helpful for people looking to change careers, soon-to-be graduates, professionals returning to the workforce, and passive job seekers. They’re also great for people in dead-end jobs who want to find a new workplace that encourages their ambition.

Through an informational interview, you’ll learn more about a company and profession and grow your network. You’ll be able to make important decisions about your career and, ultimately, land a job.

In this episode, you’ll learn the benefits of informational interviews and how to arrange them with people in the field you want to enter. You’ll also hear how I used informational interviews to make some important decisions about my career path and get a template for setting up informational interviews.
