Question

question 14
which of the following is an effective way to conduct an informational interview?

be prepared to introduce yourself in detail and ask for help finding a job.

expect that the person you are meeting with will ask you a lot of questions about yourself, much like a regular job interview.

prepare a list of questions to ask the person you are meeting with and practice your questions ahead of time.

only schedule informational interviews with hiring managers who currently have openings you are interested in.

Explanation:

• The first option is incorrect because an informational interview is not for job - seeking assistance but for gathering information.
• The second option is wrong as informational interviews are more about the interviewee asking questions rather than the interviewer (the person being met) asking many questions about the interviewee.
• The third option is correct. Preparing questions and practicing them in advance helps in effectively conducting an informational interview as it is focused on gathering insights and information.
• The fourth option is incorrect. Informational interviews can be scheduled with a variety of professionals, not just hiring managers with job openings.

Answer:

C. Prepare a list of questions to ask the person you are meeting with and practice your questions ahead of time.
