Prepare For A Job Interview If You Want To Get Hired

The best line from this blog posting Prepare for A Job Interview if You Want to Get Hired is this: "The single best thing you can do before a job interview is to prepare for it." Don't just look at the employer's website -- do a LexisNexis/Google/Law Bulletin,etc. search to find their major litigation, who their biggest clients are, and who has won the pro bono awards. After all, per this post, "On average, an interviewer will make up their mind about a candidate in the first five minutes of the interview." So if you're not prepared with a strategy that includes questions about some of that in-depth information you found, you know you didn't actually prepare. Check out the Preparing for Job Interviews: Are Excorcists & Voodoo Necessary? session in the Symplicity video library today for additional ways and information to research.
