I’m a recent hydrology graduate and I’m eager to dive into the field, but I feel a bit lost on where to begin. I’ve heard that informational interviews can be a great way to connect with professionals, but how do you even ask for one? Any tips on crafting that initial outreach or resources that helped you network effectively would be super helpful.
Reaching out for informational interviews is like throwing a paper airplane — sometimes it flies, sometimes it just flops! A good way to start is by connecting with alumni from your program; they’ve often been where you’re and can offer helpful insights. Have you thought about using LinkedIn for this?
You could start by reaching out to your university’s alumni network; they often love helping fellow grads — it’s like finding the wifi password at a coffee shop — sometimes all it takes is a friendly ask! Any specific alumni connections you’re considering?
