8 things you need to know if you're job hunting while you wait out COVID-19:
This a simple reality whether you’ve been laid off, are looking for a part-time retirement job, or are a recent graduate on the cusp of launching your career.
For this column, I asked my millennial niece, Caitlin Bonney, 28, a microgrid solution developer at Schneider Electric to share her top advice on how to make the most these interviews, which I will get to shortly. Last year, she graduated from Duke University’s Nicholas School of the Environment with a master of environmental management degree. While she was a student, Caitlin used informational chats to learn what types of roles exist as well as to connect with potential employers.
Now, as promised, here are Caitlin’s five tips for navigating a successful informational interview, or informational chat . Do your recon. Utilize the “News” feature of any search engine such as Google or Safari. Search the person’s name under news. This is, of course, in addition to looking at the person’s LinkedIn or personal website. Do the same “News” search for the company — this will reveal more information about the company than can sometimes be gathered online and can provide talking points.
Remember you’re trying to “connect” with another person, so be excited and confident and enjoy the conversation.Be patient. Setting up an informational interview can take some tenacity. It’s best to narrow the people you want to reach to those at companies where you would one day like to work or who you respect as a leader or innovator.
