WHY SHOULD I DO INFORMATION/AL INTERVIEWS?
Information interviews help you find and then get your dream job. Here are the five top reasons for doing information interviews:
1. You confirm that a certain job is the one you want. An actual job can be quite different from a written job description.
2. Information interviews take the terror out of hiring interviews because you learn how to talk with a professional about the job you are interested in.
3. You learn what parts of your experience, training, and education make you a strong job candidate. Knowing that, you can talk about yourself in a hiring interview in a way that will convince your interviewer that you are the right person for the job.
4. Doing information interviews lets an employer see that you are willing to take initiative and responsibility. Both traits are highly valued by employers. ( Because of your initiative -as well as your skills and interests- you may find yourself being considered for a job that was not even advertised.)
5. Information interviewing can provide you with knowledge that offsets your lack of work experience.
