Company Research is Key to Successful Job Search

Knowledge is power. The amount of knowledge you have about a potential employer, and on the industry in which you hope to work, can give you a competitive edge. This pertains both to making initial contact with employers and before going on interviews. Having information on a company is also invaluable when it comes to evaluating a job offer. Employers expect you to know what they do, who their competitors are, and to be knowledgeable on current events that are impacting their organization. Do your homework and research the company before your interview.
