Informational Interview Request Generator — illustrative example INPUT Request a 15-minute informational conversation with documentation lead Jordan about assigning review ownership. Sender Alex is exploring documentation work, not asking for a job. Allow an easy decline. RESULT Hi Jordan, I am exploring documentation work and would like to understand how teams assign review ownership. Would you be open to a 15-minute conversation about how you organize that process and handle unclear responsibilities? I can work around your schedule, and I understand if you do not have time. Thank you for considering it. Alex REVIEW An informational interview request should be specific, limited and easy to decline. Ask for insight rather than disguising a direct job request. This is a teaching example, not a live execution record.
