Why is an information interview a valuable job search tool?

| Posted by Guest Contributor | Uncategorized


An informational interview involves talking with people who are currently working in the field to gain a better understanding of an occupation or industry — and to build a network of contacts in that field.

It allows you to interview the company and broadens your chances of landing a job, with the employer that fits YOUR needs, not the other way around.

It also helps establish what education or skills that are required for you to meet those qualifications.
