interview preparation - the basics

Know your Industry

Ensure you fully understand the industry in which you are seeking employment. Use the internet to research related industry associations, job descriptions and career paths and know what the expectations would be of you within that industry.

Know the Company

Research the company through the internet and by asking questions. Find out whether the company has won any awards, their history, new developments e.g.: new brand names they may have and use the information as a basis to ask questions during the interview. Showing that you have researched the company is a good way to show your commitment to getting the job.
