Maybe start with your Career office at your school and get a list of alumni to contact. You may find one that’s taken that route, but maybe not. Regardless, if you start doing “informational interviews” of about 15 minutes per meeting, you should be able to network to someone who has taken that route.
- Ask for a quick interview with alumnus/a
- Take about 15 minutes asking: After asking about their personal path, then ask: Where can someone like me fit into a business like where you work? They can explain what they know.
- Ask them for at least 2 more names of people that you may talk to.
- Thank these people profusely, reserve their names in your contacts file for networking later;
- Do the same with the names of the new people.
6-degrees of separation: within a few interviews you will be talking to people who have followed your described path.
Best of luck
