One common piece of advice a job seeker gets is to prepare for the interview. They are told to “research” so that they are ready for the questions. Good advice, right? Not exactly. Sadly, most candidates do little more than just read and re-read the job posting and think that they are ready.
In the interview process, the candidate is often at the mercy of the interviewer. However, a well- prepared candidate with proper research can direct the interview and use it to showcase his or her suitability for the job role.
