Being prepared pays off in employment interviews
Effective preparation is critical to acing job interviews. In a sense you can't
over-prepare for an important interview (you can over-rehearse your responses,
which you should avoid). Remember, you are a salesman, whose job is to sell
yourself and your skills to the prospective employer. That takes preparation.
For starters, you must do background research on the company and about the
position you're trying to fill. You should be able to tell them what their
company is all about, without their having to tell you.
The company's website is a great starting point for such research. Get an
overall feel for the company, the products / services they make / sell, the
markets they operate in, names of key personnel, job titles, etc. Familiarize
yourself with their product offerings -- they'll usually have them displayed
prominently on the site.
Next, check the media. Run searches at websites of major national as well as
local news publications, plus searches at major search engines and get all the
data you can about the company. Don't forget printed magazines and newspapers
either.
You can even call up the company and ask for additional information to fill in
the gaps, without revealing that you're an interview candidate.
Discover the tricks to answering all interview questions.
Like to think a little out-of-the-box? Here's an idea -- consider doing work on a freelance basis, either part-time or full-time.

They offer a trial membership for as little as $2.95; and you get access to hundreds of jobs. Check them out now -- you may be surprised at what you can turn up.
