Hi everyone I'm a sophomore. Couple of days ago I went to NYC networking event and got some business cards. Now I want to contact these people and do informational interviews with them. But I don't know how to smoothly carry the conversation in a engaging and non-boring way. Questions such as "Why did you choose this major""How did you get into xx bank" are really boring, so I want to try to steer the conversation towards hobbies, interests, and other non-work related stuff. But how can I start these topics, by asking "What do you like to do outside work?" What if I don't have much to talk about his/her interests? Can anyone provide some experience and tips on (1) how to make an engaging, non-boring conversation (2) how to avoid the situation that we both don't have much to talk about ? thanks
