Learn etiquette and proven strategies for your best job research tool: “Informational Interviewing”. This is your key to learning about jobs of interest, what might be a good fit (or not!) for you, and finding out “what’s out there” beyond the information you can find on the internet. If you like research and you’ve been trained to do interviews as part of your linguistics toolkit, you’re already a step ahead. If not, join me to learn how to make the most of your research skills in service of your own job search. And, if you already know this genre, come to ask your etiquette questions about setting up logistics, sending out cold messages, making use of a ‘bridge’ person, and maintaining the connections you’ve made for the long term.
