A Student Guide to Informational Interviews – 2018-2019 
What? 
Informational interviews are the opposite of traditional interviews. Instead of being 
interviewed, you interview a professional – gaining valuable information about their career 
path and what advice they have for you. This conversation should be requested and led by 
you (see steps below) and last no more than 30 minutes. Informational interviews are 
typically used by students, or those outside of a particular industry, to build career literacy 
and learn about the "world of work". Note: Informational interviews should only be used to 
ask professionals for INSIGHT and ADVICE, not for a job/internship.  
Why? 
For many students, it is difficult to imagine the daily lives of professionals beyond what one might have seen on 
television or in a movie. Informational interviews provide real-world snapshots of what it is like to be in a particular 
profession, industry or department. Most professionals are willing to share with students information regarding:   
 Career Path - their journey from internship to post-college job through current job - what they have enjoyed? found 
frustrating? what attributed to their success? what they might do differently?  
 Current Role - description of typical day, roles and responsibilities, schedule and workload 
 Department - mission and structure of department within organization, culture, typical backgrounds, opportunities 
for promotion  
 Organization - basic structure, recruiting process, growth, culture, leadership 
 Industry - competitors, challenges, trends shaping changes in hiring, best ways to network/find opportunities 
 Advice - training required, best internships for breaking into industry, other people to contact 
Lastly, conducting effective informational interviews will often help you build a network so that when you are internship 
or job searching, these professionals can alert you to opportunities and internally advocate for you to be considered.  
When? 
The sooner, the better! The Office of Internship and Career Development at Agnes Scott encourages students to begin 
informational interviewing during the spring of first year. Students are advised to combine informational interviews with 
career panels, speakers, treks and internships to effectively build career literacy and learn about potential careers. The 
following chart summarizes our recommended minimum number of informational interviews.

Networking Events  
(panels, alumnae talks, treks) 
First Year 2  1 
Sophomore 3  2 
Junior 4  3 
Senior As many as possible As many as possible 
How? Tips for Successful Informational Interviewing: 
1) Prepare Your Communication Toolkit: Resume and LinkedIn and no Digital Dirt. You need to present yourself 
professionally to prospective interviewees, which requires a professional resume and up-to-date LinkedIn profile.  
 Review Resume Guide, Templates and LinkedIn Checklist on the Internship and Career Development website. 
 After revising your resume, proof and upload it to agnesscott.edu/hireascottie for review by a Career Coach.  
 Once completing your LinkedIn profile as much as you can, you may sign up in COMPASS for a LinkedIn review. 
 Clean up your social media (Instagram, Twitter, etc.) before reaching out to professionals.  
 Google yourself to make sure you know what might come up if a professional tries to “check you out.” 
2) Identify Your Objectives. What do you hope to learn? Are there careers or organizations that pique your interest? 
What coursework do you prefer? Build on what you enjoy to identify potential areas about which to learn more. 
  
 
Make a list of possible organizations and people from whom you would like to learn more. Ask people you trust 
(supervisors, ASC faculty/staff) for suggestions. Consider the following list:  
 Alumnae you meet through networking events, are referred to by the Internship/Career Development Office, 
or find on Campus Tap or LinkedIn; Use LinkedIn to search for people, target industries, orgs or professions 
 ASC Faculty and Staff - many have friends outside the college who might work in your field of interest 
 Internship, volunteer or part-time work supervisors 
3) Ask with Intention. Craft an “intentional” message via Campus Tap, LinkedIn or email to contact potential 
interviewees. When reaching out, introduce yourself, explain your connection to them, and ask for 20 – 30 minutes 
of their time for a specific purpose (insight/advice). NEVER ask to meet for a meal or an alcoholic drink – that is not 
considered professional or respectful. Always attach your resume for their easy reference. It is also helpful to 
suggest a day/timeframe where you have a lot of flexibility. Examples: 
 “Dear Ms. Rogers, I am interning in the ____ department and my supervisor, Sally Smith, suggested I talk to you 
to learn more about your career in accounting. Would you be willing to spend 20 minutes with me to share your 
career journey and provide a glimpse into your role as a financial analyst?” 
 “Dear Ms. Brown, I am a sophomore at Agnes Scott College and really enjoy my math and psychology courses. I 
see from LinkedIn that you have a successful career in Market Analytics, and I would love to hear about your 
journey from psychology major to your current position. Would you be willing to speak with me for 20 minutes 
by phone so I can ask you some questions about your career path? I do not have class on Tuesday/Thursdays.” 
4) Prepare. Once someone says yes to your request, you must prepare thoroughly and professionally. You requested 
the meeting, so it is your role to lead the conversation and convey respect for their time and advice. 
 Promptly ask and confirm the specifics of the interview – location, time, etc. Confirm the number on which you 
should contact the person (if by phone). Also, confirm the day before with a short, courteous email. 
 Research the professional and his/her organization (product/service, locations, client/service base, news and 
social media). You don’t want to ask questions that are easily answered by LinkedIn or the organization website.  
 Prepare ~ 5 written, appropriate, relevant questions. Review your objectives about what you want to learn, but 
the best questions are usually ones that focus on the professional’s career path: 
- Tell me about your career journey from college to your current role.  
- What factors do you think attributed most to your success?  
- What advice would you give someone like me who is interested in your industry or profession?  
- Is there anyone else you would recommend I speak with? 
- For more ideas, visit:   
http://www.levo.com/articles/career-advice/10-intelligent-questions-to-ask-on-an-informational-interview 
5) Lead a Professional Interview. 
 If by phone, ensure a quiet place and clear connection. Be available on time. 
Introduce yourself – “Hello, this is Taylor Smith. Is this still a good time to talk?”  
 If in person, dress professionally. Silence and put away your cell phone. Be on 
time and give a firm handshake. Make eye contact, smile and be attentive. 
 Watch the time to honor your request for 20-30 minutes. Skip to your last 
questions if needed to wrap up. 
6) Thank you and Follow-up. 
 Thank the professional at the time AND by email/personal note within 24 hours. 
 Invite them to connect on LinkedIn. Keep in touch with updates, ideas discussed, 
articles of interest, internships, your graduation. Thank them again for their advice. 
 If they referred you to someone else, reach out to that person within a week and 
always loop back to let them know where that referral takes you.

Resume/CV Writing Guide – 2018-2019 
A well-crafted, targeted resume can open doors and give you an edge when applying for internships, jobs, scholars 
programs and other activities. The tips provided in this guide are to make your resume appealing and easily 
readable when printed or viewed/scanned digitally by recruiters or recruiting software. Besides using this guide, 
you may view student resume samples posted in Buttrick G-26. 
CONSISTENT, PLEASANT FORMATTING: Experts say that recruiters spend approximately 10 seconds scanning a 
resume before deciding whether to read it closely. A strong resume - with good formatting, white space and 
highlighted content that piques their interest - can get past this scan to receive a serious review.  
We recommend that you use one of the Agnes Scott College templates (see sample template at end of this guide; 
others are on our website). If you choose not to use a template, adhere to the formatting guidelines below: 
• Margins: .8” to 1” 
• Length: Resumes - one page; CVs are longer and require more sections (see below under Section Titles) 
• Font: All black, easy-to-read font like *Calibri, *Arial, *Arial Narrow, Garamond, or *Georgia  
*Use these fonts for online applications – they’re easily read by applicant tracking systems 
• Font Size: 10-12 point for body; 14-18 point for your name (centered or left justified, NOT in header) 
• Bold: Use sparingly and consistently to emphasize school/organization names  
• Italics: Use sparingly and consistently to emphasize position titles 
• Tables/columns/text boxes/headers/footers/underlining/graphics/symbols/colors: Avoid all of these; 
they are either too informal or are unreadable by online application software 
 
• Bullets: Use round or square solid, black bullets; begin with verb; avoid personal pronouns: “I”, “we”; etc. 
• Presentation: If emailing document, always proof and PDF the document; if offering resume in person, 
print or copy on ≥ 20 lb weight white or off-white paper 
PROFESSIONAL, ACCURATE CONTACT INFORMATION: Use an appropriate email address (student or other) and 
phone number with a professional voicemail message. Make sure you check them regularly and answer the phone 
professionally. Addresses are not needed on a resume except for federal and some academic applications.  
MEANINGFUL SECTION TITLES: Organize your information into logical categories. Standard resume sections are: 
EDUCATION, EXPERIENCE, LEADERSHIP (or CAMPUS & COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT), and SKILLS. Employers no 
longer prefer an Objective on a resume; your cover letter states your internship/job objective.   
*CVs: If you’re a junior or senior pursuing research positions or grad school, you may extend the document to two 
pages, if you have significant Lab/Research Experience, Presentations or Publications. Add these as section titles.  
Education:  
• List the full name of the degree you are pursuing:  Bachelor of Arts/Science in Major (if decided) 
• GPA: Include if 3.0 or above; List Major GPA instead if it is higher 
• Relevant Coursework: List names of high level courses (e.g. Econometrics for Econ majors) or elective 
coursework you have taken/are taking related to position you are seeking; separate courses with commas 
• Global Journeys/Study Abroad: Describe topics you're studying/studied and what you’re doing/did on trip 
• High School: Remove by the end of your sophomore year, unless you graduated from a top high school in 
the city where you are searching for a position 
  
Experience (in many forms): Relevant experience comes from many situations including internships (both paid 
and unpaid) and part-time, summer, and work-study jobs. Review job/internship postings of interest. In your 
resume, include experiences that best showcase how your strengths align with these positions’ requirements. 
List positions you hold/held in reverse chronological order (by end date), beginning with the current or 
most recent position. Use 2-4 bullets per position to make it easy for the reader to scan the resume.  
• Start each bullet with an action verb (see attached list) and describe what you did/do, for whom and why, 
including the outcome. Do NOT begin bullets with “Responsible for” or “Duties included.” 
• For current positions, use “I” form of the present tense verb. Use past tense if you’re no longer in the role.  
• Do not use personal pronouns (I, my, our, etc.) Avoid informal language, slang, and unfamiliar acronyms.  
• Each bullet point must be clear, truthful, and comprehensive. Provide impressive details as opposed to 
vague descriptions; however, try to not to exceed 2 lines per bullet.  
• Think of SAR: each bullet point should describe a specific Situation, the Action(s) you took, and the Results 
you achieved. Examples: 
o Research and organize information on 100+ Metro Atlanta companies’ hiring plans and practices 
to create directory of entry level job opportunities for students 
o Selected by faculty to tutor peers in 200-level Chemistry and Biology courses for four hours per 
week; trained to identify learning challenges and teach strategies for improved retention  
o Oversaw team of six orientation leaders to create and execute schedule of student bonding 
activities for first-year students, improving program satisfaction ratings by 10% over previous year 
• Under each position, list most impressive/relevant bullet first. Save “basic” tasks for last bullet or omit. 
Leadership (or Campus & Community Involvement): Employers like to see students involved on and off-campus.  
List any leadership positions you held and describe your accomplishments in each role. Also list any activities that 
may not have involved leadership but show dedication and accomplishment.  
• Rather than stating the purpose of the club, student government, or other group in the bullets, describe 
ways you specifically have positively impacted its success or your campus/local community. Examples: 
o Collaborate with the executive board to plan campus-wide educational events such as…. 
o Engage children from low income families for 2 hours each week in reading and math activities  
o Train year-round with 23 team members and compete in 7 games per month during fall season 
o Research and write 2-3 world news articles per month to be published on The Profile’s website 
o Volunteer several times each semester to support local nonprofits by…  
Skills: Only include hard, testable skills such as specific software, language or lab proficiencies.  
KEY, INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC WORDS: Keywords are typically nouns used by application software to sort/score digital 
resumes. Recruiters, human resources staff and hiring managers also look for keywords as they scan resumes. 
Identify key words by reading postings of desired jobs/internships. Use them in your resume, where genuine. 
REFERENCES: Unless requested, do NOT include references or state “References Available Upon Request.” 
• If asked to submit references, list names on a separate page with contact information and how they know 
you. Label the page with your name and contact info in case it becomes separated from your resume.   
• Ask supervisors, professors or community leaders who can speak to your dedication, integrity, and ability.  
PROFESSIONAL PRESENTATION: Spell check, grammar check, and PROOF. Have someone you trust proof. To 
preserve formatting, save your resume as a PDF before sending. Don’t send your resume in Word unless directed.  
For resume review (usually within 5 business days), upload your resume to: www.agnesscott.edu/hireascottie 
or come to office hours during the school year: Wednesdays & Thursdays 2:00-4:00pm in Buttrick G-26.
