The question I have been asking myself is, do I need an MBA to make this happen? I have been contacting business executives to gain information from them, and find out what they think. I am also working with a career coach to keep me going in a positive direction. I will be posting some of my experiences thus far, and sharing some thoughts along the way. I hope to post at least once a week.
Below are some links to Wikipedia and the New York Times that better describe what an Informational Interview is.
I have been trying to do Information Interviews for almost two months now, and I am starting to build momentum. The key is to get more people (by introduction) from the interviews you get. Also, it is better to get in touch with people that are also making similar transitions and are conducting informational interviews as well.
My experiences are in Research Triangle Park of North Carolina.
