An informational interview is a great way to expand your network by establishing a good connection with your interviewee. Some good reasons to conduct informational interviews:

- To get an insider’s perspective on a potential career path.

- To get valuable tips about how to gain entry into this field.

- To enlarge your circle of expert contacts in the area. (Remember, it’s often who you know that gets you the job.)

- To learn about a particular organization, how you might fit in and the employer’s challenges and needs.
