Informational Interviewing

Informational Interviewing is a tool to learn about jobs, professions, and specific companies that interest you.  Talking to an experienced professional can be the best method to gain real insight about the working world.  Informational interviews can also put you in touch with the “hidden job market”: people who are not advertising a position, but may nevertheless have a job available, who may know of jobs, or who will keep you in mind for future job openings.  Check out the How-To Guide on Informational Interviewing.
