An informational interview is "an informal but structured conversation between you and someone who is doing the kind of work you are interested in". I learned that for the first time 2 days ago when I received a sheet of paper titled "Informational Interviews". My initial thought was "Oh no, I'm going to have to interview a total stranger about their job AND do a presentation about it in class". I'm very shy around people I don't know very well so I was nervous when I first read about the project. When I found out that we did not have to interview someone (yet), I felt relieved and somewhat disappointed at the same time because I had just discovered a loophole: that I could interview my mom. If and when I do have to interview someone, I would like learn more about jobs involving working with kids or something in the science/medical field.
