ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Detailed explanation-1: -The goal of an informational interview is not to get a job. Instead, the purpose is to gather information about industries, jobs or organizations you might like – to see if they fit your interests and personality.

Detailed explanation-2: -An Informational Interview (also known as an informational meeting, coffee chat, or more generically, networking) is a conversation in which a person seeks insights on a career path, an industry, a company and/or general career advice from someone with experience and knowledge in the areas of interest.

Detailed explanation-3: -In an informational interview, you are the interviewer; the person with whom you are meeting is the interviewee. As the interviewer, it is your job to drive the conversation.

Detailed explanation-4: -If you’re interested in a new industry, start with leaders of professional organizations in your city – they’re often willing to meet. But don’t limit yourself to the job and industry you want. In today’s multi-dimensional career world, everybody knows somebody, or at least has a gem of career wisdom to share.
