Is it just me or does anyone else HATE the phrase "informational interview"?
Has anyone ever used it outside of WSO? because i'd wager a significant amount that they wouldn't have a f*cking clue what you're on about! And to me, it's the most awkward, embarrassing and pathetic synonym for a chat.
Please stop using it.
I have no idea what it means, but people keep asking me if I'll give them one. Is it like sex? Should I be saying yes?
I usually say "have a chat or discuss."
much better.
When I send my initial networking e-mails, I usually use "informational interview" in the subject heading, but I never refer to that word after when I'm chatting with the intended person.
yerrr, don't do that.
So what would you want to see in the subject heading?
I go with the company name followed by the word "recruiting." Examples: Wells Fargo Recruiting, or PwC Consulting Recruiting. No need to hide your intent.
