065- 7 tips for a successful informational interview

11 Dec 2023

Description

7 tips for a successful informational interview. In this fourth and final episode of my new mini podcast series about strategies to optimise your communication for job searching, we are exploring how to maximise the time you have available to talk with a connection who has agreed to help you on your job search.  You may have only 15-20 minutes, so how you approach the conversation matters, including what you choose to talk about, how you open and close the conversation impactfully, and connect well with them.  I will also share what not to talk about, and what you can request as a follow up after the informational interview. What you will learn in this episode: How to approach an informational interview  Why it is conversation, not a Q&A  How to open the meeting well Key areas to explore in an informational interview What not to ask about in an informational interview Follow up: what you can request at the end of the meeting What makes the difference to close well  Why not explore the full series of episodes on communicating in your job search: Strategies for CV and resume success First impressions in networking: the power of impactful introductions Career outreach: crafting compelling cold messages Resources: If you need more help with how you communicate in all aspects of your job search, then contact me to learn more about my confident communication coaching: https://www.culturecuppa.com/contact Listen to part 1, Strategies for CV and resume success: https://culturecuppa.com/podcasts/strategies-for-cv-and-resume-success Listen to part 2, First impressions in networking: the power of impactful introductions: https://culturecuppa.com/podcasts/first-impressions-in-networking-the-power-of-impactful-introductions Listen to part 3, Career outreach: crafting compelling cold messages: https://culturecuppa.com/podcasts/career-outreach-crafting-compelling-cold-messages/
