Today's two minute job getting sure shot fundae - Part 3
Just one minute before you go for that interview.
Sit down. We need to talk.
See there are a couple things you must know before you actually go for your first interview with any company.
1. Get your facts straight. Always, always spend some time on the company's website and do a little bit of googling on the company before you set out with your certificates and all. This can help you immensely especially if you are going for one of those open ended interviews where the job, location and department are all undecided.
2. Take it one step further. See if you can google out the name of the guy you will be interviewing with. Sometimes you get a wealth of information about people from the net. Does the interviewer have a blog? What is his background and prior employment history? Any interviews with the person that talks about the type of employees he likes?
In addition to helping you get the job these searches might help you answer and even more fundamental issue: Should you take the job at all??!!
