In this lesson, we’ll go through a sample informational interview between an MBA student and a referral he received from another industry contact.
This conversation is more formal than our first one, because he’s coming in at a higher level (Associate vs. Analyst) and because there is less of a connection since the introduction was made via referral.
First, simply listen to the MP3 recording while reading along with the transcript – after the interview concludes, we’ll walk you through everything and analyze specific lines and strategies the MBA student used.
