Say a Genuine Thank You for Each Informational Interview

Don't forget the importance of writing a thank-you note after each informational interview. After all, the value of this meeting is to build your network so treat each person politely and show your appreciation.

Dear Mr. Trump, Thank you for taking the time to meet with me yesterday. I found your advice helpful, especially your thoughts on hairstyles for the budding megalomaniac.

If you have any additional advice, I would appreciate it. In any case, I’ll try to update you on my progress going forward.

Thank you again.

Sincerely, T. Cruz
