Answer 2

The objective that is not approproate for an informational interview is getting hired at the company that youre interested in working for

Explanation:

An informational interview is a meeting where one can share experiences and can get benefitted in return by the experience of others. The type of experience that we seek can be related to our preference or our job environment.  

It must be noted that it is not a job offer or a Job interview. The main motive behind the whole process is the sharing of life experiences. Hence,

Option A is true and can be used since an employee can discover what he/she should expect from a certain career field.

Option B is also true. By practising one’s tips and skills adequately, one can skilfully engage in conversation which could later help him/her to get ahead in the career.

Option C is not correct. As said earlier it is not a job interview hence once cannot get hired.

Option D is about sharing the experience which is a usual practice.
