In contrast, doing the interview candidates might realize that they do not have certain skills that are require in that field, this kind of job demands to work on weekends, or work long hours every day, as a worker you have to achieve certain goals every months, as a result you work under pressure, etc. Candidates have to know that doing the information interview must follow certain tips in order to succeed such as dress and act professionally, make a good first impression that could help you in a future reference that you might need. Be specific regarding questions and be on time, you could bring a hard copy of your resume just in case they want to see it or live it for a future job opportunity.
