What it does

If you're considering a career transition but don't know what the day-to-day reality of that profession looks like, online research provides limited insight. The best way to discover whether a career is right for you is to talk with people already doing it. This prompt prepares you to conduct informational interviews with professionals in your field of interest: how to request the conversation without seeming intrusive, what questions to ask to get genuine information, and how to turn that conversation into a professional connection. Use this when considering a career change, when you want to validate whether a field matches your expectations, or when you need insider knowledge before making a decision.
