Informational Interviews: Tuesday, Feb 18

Informational Interviews will take place on Monday, February 17, and Tuesday, February 18.

The structure of the informational interview is one in which you ask the majority of the questions and direct the course of the discussion, as opposed to a job interview in which you are primarily answering the questions. Preparation and follow through are essential if you want to reap the greatest benefits from the experience. See the CSO's guide to Informational Interviews for ideas about what kind of questions to ask: http://www.kentlaw.iit.edu/career-preparation/career-services/students/career-strategies/informational-interviews.

Interviews will take place in rooms throughout the building. Please check in 5 minutes before your scheduled time at the check-in table on the 3rd floor to find out where your interview will take place.

You may only sign up for TWO Informational Interviews total between Monday and Tuesday in the interest of allowing more students to participate. If you need to cancel, please remove yourself from the sign up sheet or email Katie Aune at kaune@kentlaw.iit.edu.

If you are not initially able to sign up, check back regularly in case spots open up or additional spots are added.
