Informational Interviewing Tutorial

 

Referral Letter Requesting an Informational Interview

 

Here's a sample referral cover letter requesting an informational interview.

 

Mr. C. Benjamin Stevenson
Curriculum Design Department
InstructoSource
555 Fifth Avenue
Kansas City, MO 64100

 

 

Dear Mr. Stevenson:

 

Barry Bartam, whom I met at a recent meeting of the Association of Instructional Designers, suggested that I contact you about my interest in entering the instructional design field.

 

I'm currently a systems analyst, but I did some instructional design as the result of teaching a class at Indian Mills Community College. I am extremely intrigued by the field, especially the possibilities of Web-based instruction presents.

 

I would be very grateful for any suggestions you might have.

 

I'd like to contact you in the near future to "pick your brain." I won't take much of your time and will greatly appreciate any advice you can offer.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

John H. Ziggy
