Career Content in a profession.

Sometimes when you are trying to find information on a particular profession; you may find content in that profession.

Content could be in different forms, like an article, book, YouTube video, or podcast. You may find a content creator creates an excellent piece of content in a particular profession you are interested in. You may find it valuable to contact that content creator for an informational interview.

You may find the contact creator contact information in a variety of different places, including:

• The Content piece itself may have contact information on how to contact the content creator
• LinkedIn may offer contact information for the content creator
• Other forms of Social Media may offer contact information for the content creator

Authors/Content Creators may be another source for informational interviews.
