Week 8 Assignment 2
WEEK 8: INFORMATIONAL INTERVIEW
.
This assignment is the
culmination of everything you have been working on in this course and your
chance to not only show-off your interviewing skills but also to demonstrate
your ability to network and develop new relationships. You are encouraged to
approach this interview as an investment in your career rather than thinking
about it only as an assignment.
For this assignment, you need to download and complete the Week
8: Informational Interview Template .
There are FIVE steps
to the Informational Interview.
Step 1: Compile a list
of individuals in your target career field whom you would like to interview.
Try to identify people who are working at a company in which you are
interested. This is a good opportunity to practice your networking skills. Let
your classmates, friends, family members, and colleagues know that you need to
complete an informational interview with someone in your intended career field.
You'll be amazed at how effective networking can be.
Step 2: Prepare a brief
introduction of yourself and the purpose(s) of the informational interview.
Prepare a list of open-ended questions that would be appropriate to ask during
the informational interview. An Internet search using "informational
interview" will provide you with many examples of questions you might want
to use.
Step 3: Practice your
interview with a classmate, friend, family member, or colleague and ask them to
critique your performance. Identify ways to improve based on their feedback.
Step 4: Set up a day and time
for the interview and be sure to confirm. This can be an in person interview,
Skype/WebEx or phone interview - whatever works best for the both of you.
Record the interviewee's responses to your questions.
Step 5: Send a thank-you
letter, note, or email to the interviewee within twenty-four hours of
completing the interview. And if appropriate, be sure to connect with them via
LinkedIn.
