Late April 2026 Informational interviews are one of the most powerful—and most underused—tools in the data job search. But what actually hap
Informational Interview Survival Stories
Join us on Thursday April 30, 2026 at 6:00 PM (United States Central Time) for a laid-back session where we share real-life informational interview tales. Learn what worked, what didn’t, and get tips to make your next chat with a pro way less stressful. Perfect for anyone looking to boost their networking game and hear some honest stories!
An informational interview is a casual, low-pressure conversation where you reach out to someone working in a field or role you're curious about to learn from their experience. It's not a job interview. There's often no specific job application or position on the line. It's simply a chance to ask questions, gain insider insight, and build meaningful professional connections. Think of it as a coffee chat with a purpose: Exploring career paths, industries, or companies through the eyes of someone who's been there.
Behind every great professional connection is a story and behind every great story is probably an awkward pause, a wrong turn, or a happy accident. Join us to hear (and share!) the real, unfiltered tales of informational interviews gone right, gone sideways, and gone completely off-script. Because the best career lessons don't always come wrapped in a success story. Sometimes the stories they come disguised as a really good "you won't believe what happened" teachable moment of learning and growth.
