Know your facts
When it comes to interviewing for a job, you should know some knowledge about the company you are interviewing, because this could land you the job. Some facts to know about a company is about its size, what service or product they sell, their main affiliates and whether the company is international or national. Showing that you have an idea of the direction of the company and its goals will show that you really want the job. During an interview, you can't change what is written on your resume, your qualifications and job history, etc. but you can change little things that could set you apart from the rest of the competition. But be careful not to just spew facts at the interviewer. Like Seymour said, the already work for the company and already know all this. The point is that you aren't trying to show the interviewer just that you memorized these facts, you are trying to show them that you are already motivated about the company and have a desire to be a part of their team.Posted by Suzanne on 12/31/2008 11:47:00 AM

I definitely agree that researching and knowing facts about the company you will be interviewing for shows your potential employer that you are very interested. This will also help you in choosing whether or not this is the job for you. Will this job require you to travel? Are you willing to relocate? These are some questions that can easily be answered through your research. Knowing these facts ahead of time will give your potential employer the sense that you are interested in the job at hand and that you truly want to work for the company.
