An information interview is not a job interview. Rather, it's an interview with an individual working in a career you would like to learn more about.
When you're interviewing for information, you are seeking information about a specific type of job, about a career field, an industry, and/or a company.
While it may cover some of the same ground as the information on a company website, an informational interview presents opportunities for an insider view of a company - directly from someone who works there.
Here's more on interviewing for information, questions to ask during an information interview, how to request an information interview, how to follow up after the interview, and how informational interviews can boost your job search.
