Interviewing Tips - Prepping for the interview

So you finally get an interview!!! Now you are asking yourself: “What the hell do I tell these people?” Great question!!

The first thing we have to do in an interview situation is research. How can you tell someone how you fit their company’s needs without knowing anything about them? It’s a tough nut to crack if don’t have experience in that industry.

Use the web to find news articles about that industry or try www.hoovers.com or www.wikipedia.com for company history, description, annual sales, and size.

This will give you an overview of the company. Hiring managers do take offense when you don’t lift a finger to find out something about their world. They have spent 10 minutes reading about your life post high school and also took roughly an hour out of their time to speak to you. So, be courteous and research this place that supports her or his family!!
