Assignment: Informational Interview

Length: 2 to 3 pages.

Informational interviews are helpful to learn about different career positions available for a company or department you would be interested in working for long-term. A person's rank does not matter, but you should aim to talk with someone who has enough experience to give you informed insights. Because there is no job on the line and no immediate professional risk to you, you can ask candid questions about the position and learn if that is something you would really like to do (or somewhere you would really like to work). Still, you are making an impression on them and they are sharing their time with you, so do your research. Ask informed questions and indicate a serious interest in their work. Later on, they might remember you for a position and, hey, you get a job!

For this work, you will find a prospective contact that has a job you might like to have later in your professional career and get a 30-minute informational interview with that. Please see the rubric for a full list of the required elements for some guidance about writing.
