Filed Under Image & Brand, Press & Promotions, Relationships & Networking
With so many people losing their jobs lately, I thought I would share some tips and strategies over the next few weeks from the About.com article Tips and Strategies for Successful Interviewing by Alison Doyle.
Here is Tip #1…
Company Research
Research should always be your first step. Gathering background information on employers is a crucial element in successful interview preparation. You will need to be prepared to answer the questions “What do your know about our company”? and “Why do you want to work here?” Knowing as much as possible about the company’s past performance and future plans can make your interview more interactive and could be just the leg up you need in a competitive job market. Before the interview review the company’s web site and don’t be afraid to contact your prospective employer to request details on the position you are interviewing for or to ask for company literature. Google the company to see what other information is available online.
