Task description: Informational interview

Description:

An informational interview is a key networking and career exploration tool available to help you gain a better understanding of your future occupation and industry. The ‘insider’ information you get from professionals can help give you clear insights into the types of skills you will need, what to expect day-to-day in particular roles or organisations, tips for the recruitment process and ideas about how to attain volunteer work. Like many other activities you will undertake while you are preparing for your career, this task may seem daunting. You should know that many students who have conducted these types of interviews rate them as one of the most useful things they did to help them understand their industry, their future career options and to understand the links between their university learning and future career. Once you have conducted your interview you willwrite a XXXXXXXXXXword reflection

on your experience and the information you have gained (more detail will be provided on the Learning@Griffith site).

How to guide:

Do this first – ‘Information Interviewing Tutorial’ athttp://www.quintcareers.com/informational_interviewing.html

Then,

1. Identify some companies or organisations in which you would like to work, or some positions that you would like to fill.

2. Identify some people that you would like to interview.

3. Research the companies/organisations. What do they do? What do they produce? This is vital.

4. Research the person/position. What do they do? Use LinkedIn and a google search.

5. Contact your prospective interviewee by phone or email to request an appointment. Whilst you only need to conduct ONE interview for this task, you might need to contact a few people to secure an interview. (You might do some more for your own benefit later).

6. Formulate the questions you will ask. What do you really want to know about the company or position and how the person got there?

7. Attend and conduct your interview. If you want to record the interview, you MUST seek permission from the interviewee BEFORE the interview starts.

8. Write notes during and immediately after the interview.

9. Write your reflection.

INTRODUCTION
As a part of my informational interview I interviewed Mrs. Anggammal. This interview was conducted on the 2nd on June 2018 at around 6 PM and happened for about an hour. In this interview I got to learn a lot about the post for which I would be interviewing for on June 4, 2018. The post is of a Tamil language teacher at Balestier Hill Primary School in Singapore. This is the same post for which Mrs. Anggammal cu
ently works at. She works as a Tamil language teacher at Balestier Hill Primary School in Singapore. She would be leaving that position by next week as her family is shifting back to India and she chose to be with them. Therefore, this position opened up. Since I am cu
ently finishing up my degree therefore, this position is something that interests me because this is something that I am good at.
As this kind of is the same position that I am sort of interested in that really is the reason I chose to interview her since she is already at that position, therefore, she could guide me in the sort of the best generally possible way, which generally is significant. And I essentially believe that it really is basically the best to for the most part learn from someone who has been doing a really particular job or for all intents and purposes is at a fairly particular role definitely long enough to guide you as to how should one essentially succeed at the desired role, which for all intents and purposes is fairly significant. And therefore, Mrs. basically Anggammal who really has been teaching the kind of primary students at Balestier is the perfect candidate for...
