In this internet age, it is easy to get as much information as you can about the company you are applying with. Simply type the company name on your browser and voilà! You have the company statistics down to the previous 5 years' financials. It pays to research as much as you can.
Here are some tips on what to check out.
Get the address for the interview right. Find the best means of transport to and from the interview site. You would not want to get lost along the way and be a half hour late for the interview. Is there a car park nearby? Don't get trapped in a parking lot half a mile away from the office and then find yourself all soaked up in sweat after walking all the way from the car park.
You don't have to be a private investigator to check out the company address. Does the building have centralized air-conditioning? You might want to take a coat or blazer with you to the interview if room temperatures can be chilly. Are there public lavatories where you can at least freshen up before the interview? If you arrive early, it helps if you know that there is a reception area where you can relax instead of standing around in the hallway.
Utilize your network of peers in the industry as they might have other tips about the company you are applying with, tips that may not be that available on the web. See if your colleagues know a thing or two about the company culture, its strategic directions, or even basic day-to-day operations.
Mobilize your contacts for possible leads or referrals in your research. For all you know, the company roster might have a former co-employee or an alumni from your alma mater, and it will help to touch base with them again, albeit innocently.
What is the company's core business? Great if your set of skills fit to a "T" the job requirements, but if not, you should be able to match your strengths and compensate for the weak spots you may have. How is business conducted, and what is the company's track record? You can always surprise, if not impress, your interviewer if you can cite specific information about the company which you can back with solid research.
Don't limit your research to the company's annual report available on the company website. Expand your digging to the human aspect. Is there a dress code the company adheres to, and which you can observe when you dress up for the interview? A casual visit to the company premises or its stores or showrooms can give you advance information on what to expect from the company. Invaluable will be the insights you may gain as to the kind of working culture there. Are the employees smug and all-business, or is there a more congenial and relaxed atmosphere? See in advance how your personality will adapt to the personalities of the people you'll be meeting in the interview, from the interviewers down to the receptionists.

In recent weeks, several of my clients have asked my help in finding them a new job. They each have different reasons for wanting to change jobs. Some just want more money. A few are not comfortable with the financial health of their current employer. And, I have one entry level client and one recently "outplaced" client that just need help getting started. Finding a job is not necessarily that hard, but finding the right job does take a plan.
There was a time in the recent past when people would just shotgun resumes or respond to every job ad they saw. That method does work, but it is a lot more painful in terms of time, and success. If you think about it, you need to hit the right company at the right time looking for your credentials. Odds seem a little against you. So, it is best to create a plan of attack, and to work your plan.
The first rule of thumb that people need to know in the job search is that, as non-scientific it may be, you should expect to spend about one month per $10,000 of salary hunting for that new job. If you do a quick calculation, that means it would take about 6 months of job searching, sending resumes, and interviewing to find a $60,000 job. That is pretty long, so it is important that you are organized. The reason is that there is more competition for those jobs, and like sales, you need to fill the job search pipe line. It takes a while for companies and recruiters to know that you are on the job market and for them to receive and filter the hundreds, if not thousands of resumes they receive.
Second, depending upon your current job status, looking for a job can be a full time job. If you are currently employed, you can look part-time by searching job boards, answering ads, and networking, etc. You can work with a couple of recruiters in your industry, but don't work with more than two or three. Since you are employed, you can take the time to find a specific job by targeting your industry, certain companies and certain geographic areas.
If you are out of work, then you need to treat your job search as a full-time job. Each day you need to get up early enough to start your job search at 8:30 in the morning. You need to have showered, shaved (if you are male), and dress in clothes, not sweats or pajamas. You need to work your job search for eight hours a day. You should create an work schedule. For example from 8:30 to 9:30, work the jobs boards. From 9:30 to 10:30 you should check all of the HR sites of your targeted companies. From 10:30 to noon should be your time to follow-up on all of your prospects.
After lunch, call and email all of your friends to follow-up on any leads they may have. Ask them to contact their colleagues and their HR department. Many times a company may not have an opening, but may know of an opening at another company. Apply to every job that is even close to what you want, and go on interviews. You can practice interviewing by going on interviews for jobs you don't necessarily want. You need to keep you mind active, your attitude healthy and positive, and stay connected to the market. Make sure you are upbeat with everyone you speak with. No one wants to hear how bad it is or your calls will go unanswered and not returned.
Networking is probably the best way to find a job. Basically that means telling every single person that might be able to help you that you are looking for work. Often a guy that knows a guy that knows a girl that's hiring, can get you an interview where a recruiter cannot. I cannot emphasize enough the value of networking. Working people know where the opportunities are and hear about them first, so make sure your network of friends and colleagues know that you need their help.
Keep your resume current. Don't wait until the last minute to throw it together. You will also be surprised how quickly your responsibilities change every six months. For example, have you learned a new computer system, did you participate in training, were you part of a committee that designed a new process? Stop and smell the roses to see what you have accomplished since you last updated your resume. Also, read my other articles on formatting your resume for tips. And don't be afraid to use a professional to write it. I have links to several, reasonably priced well known professionals on my web site.
Work those job boards and forums. They are fantastic for finding opportunities. Keep track of who you sent resumes to and follow up. Use the free boards first like monster.com, but don't be afraid to pay for one or two sites like TheLadders. They are not that expensive and are full of great advice as well.
And don't be afraid to tell your friends you are looking for work. Not co-workers, but outside friends. We all want to help you, but can't if you don't tell us what you are going through.
