Conducting an Information
Interview

Conduct an information interview
using the instructions in the above reading. Try to identify an information
broker or superconductor (explained in Uzzi & Dunlap article) and conduct
an information interview with her or him. If you are interested in changing
your job or advancing, this is a wonderful opportunity. If you aren’t
interested in these, find someone in a career that you find interesting,
explain to your interviewee that you are doing this for a class, and that you
need to act as if you are interested in exploring his or her career. Write 3
pages (double spaced) describing:

1. The person’s name, position and
organization

2. Why you chose this person to
interview

3. Your interview questions

4. What happened in the interview

5. The names of at least two
people you were referred to

resume
