Networking Interview
Civilian Employment
The networking interview is a more informal and insightful interview (or Q&A) with someone you are connected with, or can be introduced to, that might give you advice or information on a particular job, industry, etc. With this type of interview, you can ask your connection questions in order to gain insight of jobs, duties, companies, and to find possible inroads into applying for specific positions. One thing you can learn in a networking interview is what a typical work day would be like, how many hours a day (if any overtime), and if any travel might be involved, It is also useful in learning, first hand, what the company's organizational structure is like. Sample of a military to civilian networking contact letter.
