Information Interviewing
An important type of networking is the information interview. An information interview is a formal discussion about career opportunities, most often with someone who is working in a field that interests you and who, if a job existed, could be in a position to hire you. Your first information interviews may be more exploratory in nature than those you will have during your senior year. The goals of the information interview are:
- to gather information and advice regarding careers in a particular field
- to circulate your resume, and
- to request names of other professionals with whom you might meet to expand your network.
