You must ask a minimum of 25 questions. Below is a list of recommended questions categorized according to your career research paper outline. You are not, however, limited to these questions. What is involved in the work? Exactly what tasks might I do on the job? The place of work. Questions to ask at the Informational Interview - InformationalInterview.pdf. 40 Questions to Ask in an Informational Interview - UB School of Management. Home > Career Resources > Students > Networking > MentorLink > 40 Questions to Ask in an Informational Interview Most job hunters, realizing that networking is critical to their search, work hard to arrange face-to-face meetings with contacts.
But setting up appointments with all the friends, professional acquaintances and corporate bigwigs you can is just the first step. More important is knowing what to say once you arrive. Since wasting contacts' time is unacceptable, you should prepare an agenda before each meeting. Decide what you would like to find out from your contact, then prepare questions to elicit that information. To simplify the query-writing process, review the following list of questions. Explore Careers. Are you headed along the right path to your dream career?
Like any adventure, your career journey is certain to be much more exciting and satisfying if you have a destination in mind. When you are focused and know your strengths and interests, you can target the industries, organizations and positions that best match your talents and personality. Your immediate goal should be to make the best career choices possible at this point in your life. Keep in mind, it’s only natural that your dreams and aspirations may change over time.
Changing interests and personal circumstances, combined with the rapidly evolving nature of the world of work, will require you to make numerous career-related decisions throughout your lifetime. Self-Assessment. Self-assessment is a process by which you learn more about yourself -- what you like, what you don't like, and how you tend to react to certain situations.
Knowing these things can help you determine what occupations might fit you better than others and what kind of work situations might work better for you. At UNC Asheville, students and alumni may take the Strong Interest Inventory and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and one time at no charge. These assessments are offered in the Career Center through one-on-one appointments. Please contact the Career Center at 828.251.6515 or stop by our office at 259 Highsmith Union if you are interested in taking the Strong or MBTI. Strong Interest Inventory The Strong Interest Inventory measures your interests in a broad range of occupations, work activities, leisure activities, and school subjects applicable to a variety of career and major choices. The Internet. The Supersites are the ones that just about everyone thinks of when you mention Internet job-hunting: Monster, CareerBuilder, HotJobs, America's Job Bank.
These sites are hugely popular. In June of 2004 - one month alone - 9.6 million job seekers were online with Monster; CareerBuilder was right behind, with 9.3 million. A recent survey showed that of all people who were job hunting online, 89% registered with Monster. Similar figures exist for the other Supersites. At their core, like most job sites, the Supersites are matching engines. We know that these sites are popular; but what we don't know is this: of the people who use these sites, how many get jobs?
Again, there is no definitive answer. That said, it makes sense that the more popular a site is, the more likely that both job-hunters and employers will find what they are looking for there. One quick caveat: a number of the Supersites have job postings online that do not actually represent real jobs. What Can I Do With This Major...? Trying to decide what to major in at UNC Asheville?

Exploring the Paths to Your Future Every Career and Technical Education class falls into one of 16 “career clusters.”
A career cluster is a group of jobs and industries that are related by skills or products. Within each cluster, there are cluster “pathways” that correspond to a collection of courses and training opportunities to prepare you for a given career. The 16 clusters were established at the national level by the States' Career Clusters Initiative and are recognizable across the United States in middle schools, high schools, community and technical colleges, and the workforce. Each cluster has a page on this Web site and each contains information on careers, affiliated student leadership organizations, education and training options for high school graduates after high school, and other related student resources.
