Questions to Ask in an Informational Interview

Ask about their actual day-to-day

"What does a typical week look like for you?" reveals far more than a job description ever will.

Ask what surprised them about the role

This often surfaces the real, unglamorous parts of a job that don't show up in a posting.

Close by asking who else you should talk to

A good informational interview naturally leads to 1-2 more introductions if the conversation went well — don't skip this ask.
