Informational interviews: How intentional conversations can set students up for professional success
During the college process, most time and energy is spent focusing on getting into college itself. Where to go, how to get in, how to pay for it, and how to succeed while there. However, your teen could get into a wonderful college, have no idea what they want to do professionally, graduate, and then have a tough time translating that degree into a successful career as an adult. But this can be part of the college equation! In this interview with Beth Hendler-Grunt, we chat about how having informed, thoughtful conversations with professionals in career fields your teen might be interested in someday can help set them up for success professionally. Join us to learn…
- Why freshmen should go to their campus’s college career fairs
- How students can leverage their college professors to learn what different careers are actually like
- What potential employers actually want to learn about you when they say, “tell me about yourself”
- Why it’s so important to seek our internships during college, as early as their freshman year
- How and why your teen should be making connections once they get to campus
- How parents can help their teens figure out what they’re good at, and how those skills might take the form of various career paths
- Why just applying to jobs online doesn’t work anymore
