About this Event

Two keys to a successful interview are informational interviews and preparation on the organization or company.

Informational interviews provide first-hand knowledge on careers, organizational culture, professional advice on career related topics, change in professions, companies to work for, and so much more. There is no limit to the reasons to conduct an informational interview.

Gathering information about a prospective employer is another important step in effective interviewing. Employers and recruiters are impressed by candidates who have done their homework and have knowledge about the company. Using the internet to research the company’s website is a great place to start.

The more informed you are, the more confident you will feel, and it will improve your interview significantly.
