Do your research: Researching the organization before you interview is critical.

Employers are interested in candidates who ask intelligent questions and are able to make intelligent conversation based on what they know about the organization.

They are equally unimpressed by candidates who know nothing about the company or position being offered.

Learn as much as you can beforehand- know the company's products and services, profit margin, management, culture, dress code and anything else you can think of.

Good sources are the Office of Career Development, the college's or a public library and the Internet.
