More details about interviewing a professional

Know your contact when appearing for a job interview

You already know the importance of doing research on the company you wish to build your career at, before you walk into an employment interview. But don't stop at just finding information on the company. Here's one of the best tips -- know the person who will be your interviewer.

When you're invited for an interview, ask for the name of the person you'll be meeting. That way, right at the start of the meeting, you can use the interviewer's name, even before being told who he or she is. This conveys a great impression -- that you're a person who is always on top of things, and do your homework well.

Go beyond knowing just the name of the interviewer, however. Ask questions and find out their exact role at the company, any significant achievements they have to their credit at the organization, samples of their work, etc.

Try to obtain the name of the person you will be working for, the names of your future colleagues and superiors as well. At your job interview, talk about some of the things you've learnt about the people and their work. Mention how much you look forward to working with them. This is always a great way to differentiate yourself from the other applicants for the job.
