Company Research
Company Research
Who is hiring and where? Is this a reputable company? Answers to these questions can be found by looking up employers in online and print directories. Some employers have job hotlines or even sites that list employment opportunities.
When searching out organizations it is important to find one that will provide the right fit between who you are and who they are and what they do.
Questions you may wish to find the answers to may involve company size, benefits, environment, and whether they are regional, national, or international. An important, but sometimes overlooked, answer to find out is, what exactly do they do?
Information gathered while researching companies can transfer into the interview stage if you show the interviewer your knowledge of the company.
