Imagine walking into an interview without knowing what the company doesโlike a chicken showing up at KFC for a job. ๐โ
It sounds ridiculous, right? But youโd be surprised how many candidates do just that!
Before your next interview, take time to: โ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ต ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ป๐ โ What do they do? Who are their clients? Whatโs their mission? โ ๐จ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ถ๐ฟ ๐ฐ๐๐น๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ โ Check their website, social media, and employee reviews. โ ๐๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ถ๐ฟ ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐๐ ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ โ Any recent achievements, product launches, or industry updates? โ ๐๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐ป๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐๐ โ How do your skills and experience align with their requirements?
Iโve experienced candidates being rejected due to not preparing for their interviews by researching the companies. Yesโฆ they picked up on that!
Walking into an interview unprepared is like a chicken applying at KFCโdonโt let that be you! ๐
