Information Interview

What is an information interview and how can it help you, a school student?

An information interview can be used for a number of purposes from finding out more about a career, securing work experience (or volunteer placements) or building your career networks.

The difference between a job interview and an information interview is that YOU are in charge of the questions being asked (see link below) because you are there to find out as much as possible about the industry, business or particular job.
