In this lesson from Yale's Hunt course on job searching and career building with purpose, instructor Teresa Chahine shares a systematic approach to informational interviews aimed at connecting with people already working in a student's target field or industry. Chahine details a specific email formula for requesting these conversations along with a structured follow-up process meant to keep relationships active over time. The lecture builds on the course's earlier networking and pitch lessons, giving students a concrete, repeatable method rather than general encouragement to reach out to people. It is aimed at students who find cold outreach to industry contacts intimidating or unstructured.
