“Maybe you’re actively looking for a new job. Or maybe you’re just following a kernel of curiosity that there’s something else out there you’re better suited for—another role, career, or industry. No matter where you are in your journey, informational interviews are a low-pressure way to learn about the day-to-day of a new role, explore a different career path, or check out a different industry.
Informational interviews are unique in that the outcome isn’t a job; it’s a relationship. You’re trying to expand your network and build relationships with people who can open a door, make an introduction, and (in the future) possibly hire you.”
