Ask a Chief of Staff: Conducting Informational Interviews
Many job opportunities are never advertised publicly. Informational interviews can help you tap into the hidden job market by uncovering job openings before they're officially posted. Conducting informational interviews is not just about gathering information but also about building relationships, gaining confidence, and customizing your job search.
On October 3rd, we are excited to once again host Seisei Tatebe-Goddu — the founder and CEO of Tandem Consulting Group and Chief of Staff to Aza Raskin — to share with us the techniques and strategies needed to conduct effective interviews, ask probing questions, and build strong relationships with key individuals. Don't miss out on this opportunity to elevate your impact and effectiveness as a Chief of Staff in your organization!
You should attend this workshop if:
- You are looking for your next job and want to better conduct informational interviews
- You want to learn better techniques when it comes to informational interviews
- You want to learn how to use informational interviews to uncover new job opportunities
- You want to use information interviews to uncover insider insights into companies, roles, and industry trends
Please note, there will be a 100-person limit on this event. If you are unable to attend live, we will send a recording of the event afterwards.
