The Informational Interview: What Is It and Why it Is Important
An informational interview is a brief meeting with someone who is in a career or industry that you are considering. It is a chance to get first-hand information and advice that is specific to your interests and concerns.

As a student you will find that professionals are generally more willing to help and support your career development – they remember when they were students!
