You will:

Prepare to get the most out of your interviews.

Here is one topic where I will not reinvent the wheel: informational interviews.

The UCSF Office of Career and Professional Development’s has developed the most comprehensive set of resources available: https://career.ucsf.edu/gsp/career-exploration/build-your-professional-network

This website walks you through the essential steps of an informational interview: preparing to reach out to professionals, structuring email outreach, crafting thoughtful questions, and following up with thank-you notes.

If you are unsure of what an informational interview is, or want an overview of how to use the UCSF website, check out my short video below:
