Conducting an informational interview with a professional currently working in a career field that interests you. You are not permitted to interview parents or other close family members, but you are welcome to interview family friends/colleagues. Interviews can be done either over-the-phone or in-person, and they should last approximately 20-30 minutes. You are encouraged to consider the questions below, but you will likely need to include additional questions of your own to gather enough information for the assignment.
How long have you worked in this field? Where else have you worked? Did you make a career change at any point in your life?
What is your educational background? What did you do in college to prepare for the professional world?
How did you become interested in this field?
What is your current position title, and what do you do in your role? What are the typical work hours, responsibilities, etc.?
What skills, abilities, and personal attributes are essential to success in this field?
What is something you encountered that you didn’t expect when pursuing this career path?
What advice would you give your younger self?
Once you have conducted your interview, you will complete a 2-page report (double-spaced, Times New Roman 12 pt. font, and 1-inch margins) that includes two parts:
A breakdown of the interview, itself. This can either be in Q&A format or paragraph form. (1-page minimum)
Your thoughts following the interview. What did you learn? What piece(s) of information will stick with you the most? Does their position/career path still interest you? Do you have any concerns about following a similar path? How does this interview relate to what you wrote in the My Path Paper? Are you more confident or confused about your future after this conversation? (1-page minimum)
You will also send your interviewee a mock follow-up email thanking them for their time.

I really appreciate the work all your amazing writers do to ensure that my papers are always delivered on time and always of the highest quality. I was at a crossroads last semester and I almost dropped out of school because of the many issues that were bombarding but I am glad a friend referred me to you guys. You came up big for me and continue to do so. I just wish I knew about your services earlier.
