Informational Interview Questions

Informational Interview Questions

Here are six questions you might consider when seeking advice through an informational interview (not an interview for an actual position but an interview that is only informational in scope and can be viewed as a networking opportunity:)

  • What was the path you took to your current role?
  • Did you seek out the role, or did it find you (i.e. were you approached to fill it)?
  • What do you like most about this job?
  • If you could change one thing about this role, what would it be?
  • What is the most challenging aspect of this role?
  • If I were interested in a job like this one, what qualifications and experience would I need?

AI Interview Tip - Mirror the Job Description

Mirror the Job Description: AI systems scan for keywords. Use the exact terminology, buzzwords, and technical skills found in the job posting to ensure the algorithm recognizes your relevance.

Practice Your AI Interview

Practice Your AI Interview

Despite the ridiculous of the AI driven interview that many companies, in their 100% stupidity (technology is great but in this case, the utilization of AI-driven technology in the interview process will lead to inefficiencies in the process, bad hires (a costly mistake) and a disfranchised population of commoditized staff members), you still must prepare for the meeting with your robot.  Alas, you can prepare for this "interview" with new "tools", AI-powered platforms like Big Interview or InterviewAI for mock interviews and feedback.

AI Interviews - Tip #2 for Success

 For that dreaded AI Interview, keep the following top of mind:

 AI analyzes responses for keywords, consistency, confidence, empathy, and sometimes even facial expressions or word choice, providing scores on communication and integrity.  Therefore, re-read the job description and "speak" in their language during the interview.

Interview Preparation

 Interview Preparation -

While it is a given that you learn about the company, the market it serves, the duties of the opportunity, etc., it is equally as important to be prepared to offer solid examples of your success stories. If the interviewer asks about your experience selling to C-Level executives, do not answer " I have sold to CEOs, CFOs, CIOs, CMOs and CTOs for five (5) years." You should reply: I have managed the sales cycle involved the C-Suite, pitching new products / services, always in highly competitive marketplaces. I always demonstrate the strengths of my product / service offering, accentuating why our organization is poised to address questions / problems / concerns while always being proactive with customer success initiatives, client training and information about new add-ons and new products in the pipeline. See the difference???

Do you know the interviewer?

  Do you know the interviewer?


Probably not. However, that means that you need to do some research about the interviewer. Use LinkedIn to read about the interviewer in terms of:


Career Path

Education

Affiliations / Professional Organizations

Achievements


A quick Google search will provide additional information for you. This information will help you better understand the interviewer, the company as well as potential career paths for you, esp. if the interviewer is in your field (not a recruiter).
