Informational Interviewing by Lola L. Lucas, MA, MBA

What is an Informational Interview?
- - -It's the single best way to find a career you love and a job that you really want. It's an informal sharing of information as equals. Unlike the "sweaty palms" of interviewing for a job, it's a chance to discuss business trends in general and the company in particular without the pressure of being selected or rejected for a position.

Isn't that just a sneaky way to get in for an interview?
- - -No, not if done properly.
