Answer 1

Correct answers:
- They are intended to help the interviewer learn and grow.
- They should be conducted in person whenever possible.

Notes:
- Informational interviews are primarily for the person seeking information (the interviewer) to learn about careers, companies, and networks.
- While phone or video meetings are common and acceptable, in-person meetings are often preferred when feasible.
- They’re not primarily a way to ask for a job; you can politely ask for referrals or contacts, but the main goal is information and relationship-building.
