Career Development SIG: The Benefits of Informational Interviews

I’m sure you’ve all probably heard the statistics of the high percentage of people who have obtained jobs through networking with other people. So, what’s the most effective way to find a job? It’s through networking. Another great way to network with other professionals is with the use of informational interviews. Whether you’re actively seeking a new position or are thinking about another career, this SIG session will help you obtain the information and contacts you need. The job market is competitive for training professionals. Sometimes you can’t get all the information you need by just applying for jobs, using the internet, and interviewing. That’s where informational interviews come into play and can help connect you with other professionals and information that will be beneficial to your career.
