Information Interview Worksheet:
Usually an information interview is conducted with someone who is currently working in a job in which you have interest, not necessarily someone who does the hiring. Though the purpose of the information interview is to learn more about an industry, a particular company/organization, or about the skills needed to be successful, there is nothing to prevent you from returning for a job interview at a later date.

Setting Up Interviews by Phone:
You may occasionally need to set up interviews by phone. This is especially the case when you are looking for
jobs in a distant location or are applying to companies that haven't posted a job ad. First, obtain basic information
about the company/organization (relevant job potential, address, phone number, etc.) from their website and note
them on the second page of this worksheet. You can then call to set up an interview, using the sample phone script
below as a guideline.
