Networking is important in any industry, and sports are no different. One effective way to make connections is through informational interviews. But, once you have secured one, what are the best practices? That's what Jean-Christian from the University of San Francisco asks the WorkInSports Podcast:
"First, I wanted to say I love your WIS podcast. You bring an energized and dynamic vibe to the great content, and it makes it always enjoyable to listen to every week.
"I’ve started to reach out to professionals in different fields for informational interviews and try to take a different and personalized approach with every generous professional willing to take a few minutes on a call with me. But I sometimes feel like I'm running with the same shallow questions. What would you advise for informational interview preparation and how to approach them?"
