This episode is an audio version of a virtual panel held at the Linguistics Career Launch in the summer of 2024, titled “Informational Interviews”. The presenter is Alex Johnston, who is Director, Master’s Programs & Career Management in the Georgetown University Dept. of Linguistics. Informational interviewing is the key way to learn about jobs of interest, what jobs might be a good fit (or not!), and finding out “what’s out there” beyond the information available on the internet. It’s an effective research tool, but it’s important to do it right. In this presentation, you can learn how to use your research skills in service of your own job search. This presentation covers topics such as what an informational interview is, who to contact, how to contact them, which questions to ask, and how to maintain the connections you’ve made for the long term.

The presenter is Alex Johnston, who is Director, Master’s Programs & Career Management in the Georgetown University Dept. of Linguistics. In this presentation, Alex will answer the following questions: How do I “convert” my academic, student or volunteer experiences into a professional resume? What experience do I even HAVE? (More than you think!) How do I showcase those experiences on my resume so it has a better chance of passing through the Applicant Tracking System and getting in front of a real person? How can my resume convince a real person that I’m a fit for the job? After this talk, you’ll understand STAR stories, effective resume bullet points, and ways to research and display “fit” with a job announcement.
