Informational Interviewing is the key way to learn about jobs of interest, what jobs might be a good fit (or not!), and finding out "what's out there" beyond the information available on the internet.
This is an effective research tool, but it's important to do it right. Learn how to use your research skills in service of your own job search. This seminar covers topics such as what an informational interview is, who to contact, how to contact them, which questions to ask, and how to maintain the connections you've made for the long term.
