Nearly everyone, regardless of their career situation, can use informational interviews to help them move their career forward in a smart way. Informational interviews are perfect for:
- People who want to discover great career choices for themselves
- People who want to find ‘insider help’ to get interviews for advertised job openings found on job boards, company websites, and LinkedIn.com
- People who want to find unadvertised job opportunities with little or no competition
- People who ‘fell into’ their careers and don’t know how to find a new career that is a good match for them
- People who want insider advice on how to land a great job at companies where they would love to work
- People whose industries are changing or shrinking — and they have no clue what to do without starting over or taking a pay cut
- People who have one or more career ideas and want to confirm that they are making the right career choice
- People who want to discover what careers and jobs they are qualified for at companies that appeal to them
- People who don’t have an effective network that can help them find and land a new job… and they want to expand their network
- People who have worked for a number of years and now want a new career, but they feel pigeon-holed and don’t know what other careers would leverage their skills and experience
- New and recent college graduates who don’t know what career they want to pursue — or who know they don’t want a career related to their major
- People who have been laid off and want to explore new career options
- People who want advice on how to make their career transition
- People who have been out of the workforce for several years in order to raise children or take care of their parents and do not want to return to their former career
