Interview Research

interview research

One of the best ways to prepare yourself for success at interview is to invest some time and energy into gathering a variety of information before the big day. The three main areas to research are: the interview (such as the format, how to get there, who will interview you); the job (including the qualities, skills and abilities required) and the organisation (for example, its size, history and market position).

Taking some time to carry out a little research will help you to present yourself in the best possible light and will demonstrate to the interviewer your interest in the job. It will also boost your confidence as you walk into the interview knowing that you are well prepared, and will help you to place yourself ahead of the competition.
