Tip #4: Prepare questions ahead of time.
Have specific questions in mind that you’ve always been curious about. Some good ones to ask:
- What does a typical day on the job consist of?
- What do you like best and least about what you do?
- What qualifications and experience does someone need to have to get a job in this field?
- What is an entry level position in this field?
- What are best places to look for jobs in this field?
- How did you get started?
- Do you know anyone else who it would be beneficial for me to talk to?
If you need help with this, you know where to find me.
