Informational Interviews
An informational interview is a way to learn first hand information about an industry, occupation, employer, or program.
A key thing to remember is that informational interviews are not job interviews; they are opportunities for you to learn more about specific career paths, and to develop contacts and possible leads within your industry of interest.
