                                  Informational Interviews

Are you in the process of choosing an academic major, making career choices, changing careers, or beginning a job hunt? Informational interviews may help you explore your options.

Informational interviewing provides the opportunity to gain current information from professionals in the field.  Informational interviews help you gain valuable information for job hunting and career planning, learn about a particular organization, and network and establish contacts.

How are informational interviews different from other types of interviews? Informational interviews are meant to help you obtain information, not ask for a position.

To prepare for an informational interview: know your own skills, interests, values, and how they relate to the career field represented by the person you will be interviewing. Read about the career area and the organization. Know exactly what kind of information you want by having a list of questions in mind (http://careers.umbc.edu/skills/network/infoint_questions.pdf)

For more information: check out the books in the Career Library (Math/Psyc 212) and on our website!

Name:  Jahziel Paulines

Internship, Co-op or Research Site: Chronic Diseases Informatics Program

Major(s)/Minor(s): Health Administration

Expected Graduation Year: May 2015

Briefly describe your internship, co-op, research, or service- learning opportunity, including your day-to-day tasks, responsibilities, and assignments.

I have to develop curriculum where patients are informed about their condition through a tablet. With each curriculum, I make questions and answers on a Word Document. Then I add images related to each question and audio record the statements that correspond to each question. After, I transfer all of the questions, answers, images and recordings onto Excel. The programmer then transfers everything onto the tablet. And once everything has been reviewed and ready to go, the tablet is ready to be used by patients.

What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization/company?

I enjoy the peacefulness in the office. It helps me think and concentrate on the assignments assigned to me. I also like the assignments given. They're interesting and even though the assignments seem tedious, the work helps me pass through time.

What have you gained from your experience that you could not have gained from another opportunity?

I've gained a lot of insight on how the department runs every day. I learned about the responsibilities that other opportunities might not have. I also gained friendship. I've met most of the people who work in the department and was able to work with them well.

What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?

When there are opportunities open for you, don't close them out. Take as many as you can and make the best out of it. At least stay with one internship and be consistent with it. Be the best intern you can be, get acknowledged, and put yourself out there. Hopefully the right one for you will be the last door open.

How do you see your experience as meaningful? This might involve skills you’ve gained, information you’ve learned, mentors you’ve connected with, or projects you’ve completed.

There are things I've learned that I've never learned before, such as how to make a curriculum, how to complete excel and edit audio recordings. Because there are multiple assignments given, there are a lot of topics I've learned about. The experiences I've learned will definitely help me in my future.

Please provide a short quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / the internship placement process.

You're never too young to plan for your future. As long as you start somewhere, there's a possibility you will be everywhere. Work hard and play harder. In the end, your future will be brighter. Have some faith in yourself and believe. You'll get there.
