Question:
1. Conduct an Employer Research Session with a professional in your field of interest.
a. Interview must be in person or over the phone
b. Choose your interviewee wisely – stretch yourself beyond the convenient – a parent or sibling may seem the easiest, but someone outside of your family may be able to provide new information and expand your network.
2. Ask at least 5 questions – you may use the questions discussed in the Informational Interview power point presentation or come up with your own questions.
3. Provide a one page summary of your findings. Specifically, answer the following questions:
•Who did you interview? Include the person’s name, title, place of employment, and phone number or email address.
•Why did you choose this person? What did you hope to learn from the interview?
•Which questions gave you the most interesting/useful information?
•What did you learn about the career field and/or about informational interviewing?
4. Write at thank you note to the person you interviewed and turn in a copy of the note (if you hand write the note, you may type the contents of the letter to turn in.)
