An informational interview - a 15-20 minute one-to-one meeting with a contact - is a great way to find out more about a career. They can give you an insight into the industry, position, organisation or career you are interested in and will help you gain valuable insight and information that can help you plot out a career path that’s suitable for your skills, experience and interests. 

Ever managed to find a job description that fits you, your skills and your experience completely? Unless you have been very lucky, the likely answer is no.

Congratulations on your job offer! Now it’s time to make sure employers really know what you are worth and ace the negotiation process, and the best way to do this is to understand your BATNA.
