　　HOW TO PREPARE FOR A JOB INTERVIEW

　　In my experience as a human resources manager, many job applicants are unsuccessful because they fail to prepare for interviews. If you want to get that job, you must do your "homework"!

　　First of all, learn as much as you can about the employer. It is essential that you know what the company produces or sells, who its customers are, its size, and whether it has recently expanded or is planning to. If you also understand the culture of the organisation, you can give yourself a competitive advantage by ensuring you are "on message" during the interview. By culture, I mean the company's principles and ideals. Look out for words like "mission statement" and "vision" when you are doing your research; that is where you will find them.

　　Most of the information you need is quite easy to get hold of. The company may have a brochure -- it is worth calling to ask -- or the Internet is an excellent source and most companies have websites these days. You should also look at the products yourself, if possible, by going to a local branch or supplier.
