INFORMATIONAL INTERVIEW

An INFORMATIONAL INTERVIEW is a meeting in which a job seeker asks for career and industry advice rather than employment. The job seeker uses the interview to gather information on the field, and to find employment leads and expand their professional network. This differs from a job interview because the job seeker asks the questions. There may or may not be a specific employment opportunity available. Nevertheless, job interview etiquette is expected. A thank you card or email to your interviewee is appropriate.

You will be required to interview someone who currently holds a position that you are interested in. This interview may be conducted in person, over the phone, or via email (if absolutely cannot be done in person). The more information you ask an interviewee, the more information you will receive about a particular career position. Grammar and Spelling will be graded.

DIRECTIONS:

Type out the QUESTION and the ANSWER. Once you have answered typed up the questions you asked and your interviewee’s responses, write a reflection about your experience. What did you find most interesting? Surprising? Exciting? Also, what career theories did you see expressed in the way this person chose their field?
