TIPS ON PREPARING FOR A JOB INTERVIEW Research the company: Prior to your interview, research the company you are interviewing with online. Use a search engine to find out locations, history, mission statement, and any information related to your job. Interviewers like to know you did your homework. As you do your research, consider these questions: 1. Why is this company a great place to work? Consider factors like where they currently are in the marketplace and where theyre headed. For example, are they innovative in their technology? Do they deliver first-class customer service? How well do they treat their employees? 2. Why would this be a great position for me? Consider the challenge of the work. Does it inspire you? Is it interesting? Will it allow you to excel in your career? Does this position align with your career aspirations? 3. Where does this position allow you to add value as an employee? Whether you are a multi-tasking master or a cold-calling machine, what about this position will allow you to do your best? Whatever your talents, how will they shine in this position? Questions Please: Many candidates make the mistake of taking this portion of the interview lightly - DONT! At the close of an interview, most Hiring Managers will ask if you have any questions. Your first answer should always be, YES! In fact, not only is it good interview etiquette to ask questions, but you should have questions if you are genuinely interested in the job. An interview cant possibly cover every topic, and so logically, there should be some gaps along the way where you might have been wondering more about the company culture, or the responsibilities youd have in this position. THIS is the time where you want to ask those questions and tie up any lingering thoughts or concerns.
