Oh, the excitement! Your just found out you’ve got a juicy interview on Thursday! Everything about it is great. You don’t know the company that well, but you’ll get by.

Boys and Girls, now is the time to bear arms.

No, I’m not talking hunters, warriors, grizzlies, or any combo thereof.  I’m talking pick up your laptop and brain and go do some serious research!  Why is that company going to interview you? What can you do for them? What’s the potential here? You’ll never know unless you do your research. Between now and Thursday, you need to do as much homework as possible to find out as much as possible about: the company, the position, the people in the company, and how you genuinely fit in the equation.  This could be the position of a lifetime or it could be the pits, but you won’t know unless you do your research.

So where do you go to do your research. There are tons of great sites, but at the moment I just love ceoexpress.com. They give you as much or as little as you want. It’s a brilliant site. If there’s another you think is better, email it to me and I’ll give it a check & you and the site a mention.

Wherever you go, do your research before you go to the interview.

To your success,

Rita
And remember: if at first you don't succeed, do it like your mother told you.
