You’ve scheduled the coffee chat. You’ve Googled the person twice. You’ve rehearsed your “So, tell me about your role” question in the mirror. Now what?
In this episode, we’re spilling the beans (yes, pun intended) on how to make casual career conversations count—especially if you're introverted, over-prepared, or allergic to awkward silences. Discover how to turn a 20-minute coffee chat into a long-term connection without sounding like you're reading from a script or angling for a job in the first five minutes.
We’ll talk about:
What to ask (and what not to ask) in informational interviews- How to follow up without feeling weird about it
- The magic of genuine curiosity—and how it trumps fancy credentials
Because networking doesn't have to mean schmoozing over croissants. Sometimes, all it takes is a latte, a few good questions, and a solid Wi-Fi connection.
