Job Interview Tip - Know Who You're Interviewing With
Just spoke with an employer-client who was pretty frustrated by an on-campus interview with a high achieving student at a respected school. The employer is a big accounting firm. The student thought they were investment bankers. Wrong.
Job interview tip: do some research. Know who you're going to be interviewing with. Know who their vendors (suppliers) and clients (customers) are. Know about their industry. Be able to speak intelligently. Don't worry that you aren't as knowledgeable about the firm or the industry as the person interviewing you. It would be pretty bad for you to know more about them than they do. But you've got to know a lot more than the investment banking wanna be who went into his job interview sorely unprepared.
