We're encouraged to ask for informational interviews at our school as a way to network and look for jobs. I secretly feel this inside when I am trying to find a way to maintain contact with people. These subconscious thoughts are particularly distracting when I don't know how to add value to the relationship. I love this post, especially the "I'm calling to touch base" observation.

The squares are moist and soft, with a base made with just enough ground almonds to give them a rich, nutty flavor. Without the berries, the bars would be very plain. With the berries, they are colorful and have a great balance of sweet and tart in every bite. I added some sliced almonds to the tops of the bars to give them a little contrasting crunch.

When dealing with non-industry people, it's best to keep the conversation simple, and if one has to use technical terms, have to explain those terms in plain English before hand. Learn from some of the most successful politician's speeches, most are best kept at 4th grade English level.
