When at first you don't succeed, ask, ask around

When preparing for a job interview, people often overlook the basic but necessary step of researching their position and prospective employer. This is unfortunate, because countless job seekers are shot down due to their lack of knowledge or preparedness regarding things that, for the most part, are a five-minute Google search away. Oh well - their loss is your gain. Run a search for your employer and the position you've applied for and get to know the lay of the land. If what you find leads you to more specific questions, try contacting the company, its HR staff, or even current employees for the information you need. Nine times out of ten, they'll be more than happy to help out - and remember, there is no such thing as a stupid question, so ask away. Use these resources to their full potential, and you'll have that job in no time!
