There's a big difference between doing some basic research and asking smart questions that demonstrate your willingness to learn vs being lazy and expected to have things handed to you on a plate.
Let me demonstrate:
Lazy
What kind of job do I need to qualify for my CFA designation?
Not lazy
I've read the requirements and I'm still a little fuzzy. I currently work at ______ doing ________ and I think it's related, though not explicitly. Does anyone have any experiences qualifying this kind of experience or should I start looking for something that will?
Ask yourself: Can I find the answer with google in 5 minutes or less?
If yes - Go google it.
If no - Google it anyways and demonstrate what you've learned and then ask the question.
I'll add that I've also learned this the hard way. Early in my career, I had an informational interview with a VP at an investment firm and was totally unprepared. My dumbass thinking at the time was.. Oh I'll just figure out questions to ask and go from there.
She totally knew I wasn't prepared and reamed me out for it. Did not get job. Did not get access to her contacts.
