Pursuit VS Attraction Interactions
A "pursuit" interaction is often done with the expectation of a gain.
Most interactions—especially 1-on-1 interactions like informational interviews and direct messages—fall under this category. You're engaging because you hope to gain:
- information about a role
- information about a company
- the possibility of a referral
An "attraction" interaction is done without expectation of reciprocity. You're:
- sharing what you know because you want to help people
- engaging with others because you love what they do
