When clients reach a career crossroad, I often suggest informational interviewing to scope out a prospective new role, firm, industry or career path. That suggestion is almost always met with resistance. The most frequently voiced objection is not wanting to bother a busy person. When that is overcome, a trove of information, insight and inspiration can be uncovered.
An informational interview is defined as “a meeting in which a potential job seeker seeks advice on their career, the industry, and the corporate culture of a potential future workplace … They use the interview to gather information on the field and on specific companies where they might want to work. They can find employment leads, and expand their professional network.”
