Its a guide for the candidates who wish to appear for a job interview. Here i will briefly remind (as we all have a knowledge about these, but forget) various points to remember, one by one.
1) Launch a research campaign
If you are an aware job seeker you will first begin a research campaign designed to significantly improve your chances. Don't send out a cover letter or resume before you know anything about who's going to be reading them and what their needs are. Tailor that letter and that resume to the specific interests of the company, and you have a huge advantage before you even set foot in the door.
What kinds of things are important to learn about the company? First, you will want to find out their "corporate personality", their style. Each firm is different, and these sometimes-subtle differences can have a strong influence on their hiring practices. You might also want to get a handle on their benefit package, salary options, and promotion policies.
It's helpful to get information on your prospective position, too. How long has it been open, why did the last person leave, how much turnover has there been? If it's a new position, you might want to know why it was created, what specific need is being met or problem being solved. Was it a controversial decision to create the opening? This can really influence hiring decisions.
next point i will discuss in my next blog, so keep watching.
