LinkedIn is a powerful tool for networking, especially for recent graduates seeking informational interviews. Instead of targeting busy executives, focus on professionals in roles you aspire to or one level above. Start by leveraging your existing network and consider using LinkedIn Premium for personalized messages. Craft concise, respectful outreach, set up meetings professionally, and thoroughly research the person and company beforehand. During the call, follow a clear structure, respect their time, and never directly ask for a referral—focus on learning. Always follow up with a thoughtful thank-you email. This strategic approach helps build meaningful connections and insights into your desired field.
