Research: Six important sources of useful information
Webpage: First check the company's webpage.
Online search: Most online services have a business reference section where applicants can download a wealth of information about company history, product lines and profits.
Public Library: Don't ignore your public library. It may have annual reports, company history, biographies of founders, company rankings in sales and profits, and other important information.
Stockbroker: If the company you are interested in is publicly traded, your stockbroker will also have a copy of the company's annual report and other important documents with the government.
Network: Connect with friends and colleagues in similar positions and areas to understand job security and salary growth prospects.
Industry associations: Talking to professional associations is a valuable resource because they conduct salary surveys for members and can tell you about the high and low wages of the jobs you need.
Evaluate your skills: Recruiters complain that many applicants do not spend time thinking about their achievements and how to best communicate them during an interview.
Recruiter Questions: List the questions you might be asked and practice answering them so that when you walk into the interview, your thoughts are organized.
Your own question: Based on your research, develop and remember a list of questions you would like to ask the interviewer to show your understanding of the company.
Determine your ideals and minimum wage requirements: Ask yourself what you want to get, and what you will be satisfied with if you offer a job [not limited to paying for wages, which is important for the entire program].
Actual interview: Sell yourself
The first impression is crucial: it needs to be carefully modified to look professional.
Confidence and body language: Be confident and relaxed during an interview, and use humor when appropriate, especially to resolve inappropriate or sensitive issues.
Step: Let the interviewer determine the pace, don't interrupt or ask questions [you don't want to be too aggressive].
Enthusiasm: Enthusiasm is often an important factor in recruiting; they want team members, but people who think of new ideas and desires.
Money to talk: Although salary may be the most important in your mind, remember the basic rules of negotiation: never, until they do. If the interview is coming to an end and there is no mention of money, then you can say "Can you tell me what the salary range might be?" If the employer says a lower number, please explain that you know your career from X to Y. Salary, and with your skills and experience, you certainly want to get paid at the top of this level.
Repeat, reiterate, and reiterate: When you shake hands and say goodbye, reaffirm the key information you want for this job. A good way to say is, "Steve, you gave me a good photo of ABC, it just confirmed in my mind that ABC is still my first choice. Working for you is what I really want to do. Thank you for taking the time to meet me. If there is any other information you need, please call me."
End the transaction: If you reach the point where you agree to the money in the interview, then don't go so wide that you forget to get it in writing.
Interview follow-up visit: Send a short thank you card after the interview, even if you don't get a job to remind the recruiter of your availability.
