Informational interview can be difficult for someone like me because i 've  never  heard of an interview that focuses on my skills and what job matches with my skills. Individuals who are jobless tend to get desperate and search for any kind of job no matter how boring it is just to have some money in their pocket. Although i understand that surviving is an individuals first priority, I rather work for a position that would  let me use the skills that i have learned from past experience and learn new ones. The three main sites i have on the op of this blog focuses on informational interviews. each gives you bullet points on how to conduct an interview. some of the points are: be resourceful
                asking questions such as-What do you like most/least about your job? 
                                                         What emerging trends do you see affecting your job or industry?
                follow up with a thank you note

Also it informs you on what not to say. some questions like:  Do not ask superficial questions to elicit answers that could be found through a basic Internet search (the annual sales of a publicly-held company, for example);

Do not bait and switch, asking for an informational interview and then pushing to have your résumé circulated among hiring managers.

hopefully my blog can help you get through an informational interview.
