    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.
