Workshop Description: When it comes to building your career and landing a new position, you’ve probably heard how important it is to network. Informational interviewing helps to build connections, gain information, and uncover new career possibilities. In this workshop we’ll explore:

  • How to find people to talk with
  • What to write when making “the ask”
  • Research to do before the meeting
  • What to share about yourself
  • Questions to ask
  • Follow up
  • Maintaining your existing network
  • And internal networking, for those who want to grow their careers at a current employer
