An informational interview is an important networking technique. It is an opportunity for you to
interview someone who may be able to help you with your career development and/or current job
search. Usually it is with someone whose position or career is related to your own career goals.





Benefits


? Obtain information about your chosen career field.
? An opportunity for you to learn more about a specific position and/or organization.
? Keep you up-to-date with career trends.
? Learn who the decision makers are.
? Become known to potential hiring authorities.
? Discover job opportunities that are not advertised.
? Learn where your skills and interests might fit within an organization.
? Strengthen your network, allow you to add to your list of contacts.
? Practice self-marketing skills.







Preparation


? Develop a list of people you already know (family, friends, neighbors, professors,
classmates, present or former co-workers, alumni) and ask them, “Who do you know that
might be able to help me with my particular career interests and that might be willing to
meet with me for a few minutes?” If they have a name of someone who can help you, ask
them if they will help facilitate a meeting or if you can use their name as a referral. The
person you would like to interview will be much more likely to meet with you if you have a
name familiar to them to connect you with.
? When you call to set up the interview, try something like, “Hello, my name is (fill in the
blank) and I’m a graduate student at UC San Diego. I was referred to you by (fill in the
blank) as you’re in a line of work that I’m interested in. I am hoping that you could help me
gain insights into the profession. I’m sure that my questions could be answered in a 20
minute informational interview." Another approach is to send a letter of introduction through
email, like a mini cover letter. In this case you are asking for an informational interview.
Make sure you indicate that you will call to set up a mutually convenient time to meet. Keep
it succinct and polite.
? Review websites, books, journals, articles, and newsletters to learn as much as you can about
your chosen occupation/organization/field.
? Find out as much as you can about the particular person and organization.
? Decide what you would like to know about the occupation/industry/organization.
? Based on your research, prepare a list of relevant and intelligent questions.







Etiquette


? Be clear that you are not asking for a job.
? Schedule the interview for 20 minutes and plan to stick to this timeframe.
? If at all possible, meet in person.
? Focus of the interview should be 80% on them and 20% on you.
? Be enthusiastic, positive and confident.
? Dress professionally, like you would for a regular interview, to make a good impression.
? Take notes, using a nice portfolio with a pad of paper and good quality pen.
? Send a thank you note or letter and keep in touch periodically through thoughtful emails.

建议LZ把font&size调调，我已经copy&paste到文档中翻成中文，打算春节回家后和父母好好交流下，上次跟他们说这个，可能我的理解和表述也不够清楚，他们基本上是以很封闭的心态不愿聆听，看完这个再和妈咪沟通，明显效果好很多了，也知道了我具体需要的是什么样的帮助。所以在这里要谢谢LZ。
