An Insider View into First Meetings
1. Firsthand stories about the company that you are targeting
will be helpful because often, all the research in the world can’t amount to what you can discover about a company through a verbal one-on-one conversation with an employee who has experienced it first hand.
2. Discover new potential career paths.
If this person has your dream job, you can ask them what they did to get there. Discovering more about their career path can help you learn what you need to do to get to your dream job. It might inspire you to want to take a similar journey. It could even draw your attention to careers you didn’t even know existed or were unfamiliar with, like collecting pieces of a map so you can explore more confidently.
3. Lead to more interview opportunities.
Show this individual that you are serious, hardworking, and perfect for the job! The company would much rather interview people that their employees recommend rather than those random resume droppers. They might even refer you for an interview!
4. Get insider information about the goings-on of the company that you can toss out during your interview.
This is your mission! The interviewer will be impressed and see that you have put a lot of time and thought into your preparation! It shows you have more to offer than just the skills listed on your resume.
