Informative Interview

Dear Students,

Many of you have asked me some terrific questions about your upcoming assignment on informational interviews. Please keep the following things in mind:

1)You are not limited to the subject matter of your internship.

Find two individuals whose jobs interest you. Who has your dream job?

2)You are not limited to your geographic area. Informational interviews may be conducted by phone but NOT BY E-MAIL

3)This assignment is due on MIDNIGHT on 7/14unless you are a late starter with a personalized syllabus
