Why I Strongly Dislike Informational Interviews (and What to Do Instead)
Description
If you’ve ever been told to “just do some informational interviews” when exploring a career change, this episode is for you.
I’m sharing exactly why the traditional approach to informational interviews drives me up the wall – from the selfish ask, to the hidden job request, to the way it distracts you from the real work of figuring out who you are and what you want.
Instead, I introduce my philosophy of “networking like a midlife human” – a generous, human-centred way to connect that honours people’s time and builds genuine relationships.
