There is a limit to the knowledge you can gain about a career simply by reading. Speaking with people in careers that interest you is a much more effective method for getting an inside look into positions, institutions, and job sectors.

During Step 3, you will:

  • gain an understanding of the purpose of an informational interview,
  • learn best practices for conducting informational interviews,
  • practice during an interactive portion of the workshop.
