There is a bit of eye-roll material here (“if you want to be able to talk to anyone, read the newspaper every day,” LOL OK) but it’s full of a lot of good advice for anybody talking to other professionals in any capacity. --I’m looking for work and instead of a real interview I was offered an “informational interview.” Should I go? How do I prepare for it? Do you have any tips? --You should go to any interview that you are invited to, because it’s one of the best ways to learn how to have a professional conversation with someone you don’t know.
