You are exactly right that doing research on a job you want may lead you to the job, but you can't do the research with the idea that it will lead you to the job. Do everything you can to learn, and the universe will unfold with its plan for you. I appreciate the contribution! Mary Pat Thanks, Brandon, for the addition to the list.

Another great way to start getting information about a certain industry or a particular job is conducting informational interviews. The informational interview consist of talking with people that are already in the industry of your interest and asking them questions that will help you understand the occupation better. It is also a great way to start building one’s network. It is important to mention that in the informational interview approach, the idea is not to ask for a job, but rather request time to find out as much information about the industry, the trends, the challenges, and the opportunities from someone that is already in the industry. @PediatriInc Mary,
