Research

July 25, 2008 in Interviewing

One of the most critical aspects of Interviewing is doing your research on the role, the company, the hiring manager and the ‘process’.  A mistake we see too often is when a candidate is either sent by an agency or replies to a job on their own and then they either have very little information regarding the roles/responsibilities or simply did not do the proper research to sound astute about what it is they are interviewing for.  Clearly a quick way to shoot yourself in the foot is to not research, at minimum, the company you are interviewing with – people like to know that you have a basic understanding of their company and environment.
