Information is Power (when preparing for an interview or internship)
Conducting research prior to a networking event or interview or for internship preparation will help you answer the question: What is an employer thinking about or trying to do? What is hindering or helping progress? Focusing your investigation on these areas will assist in tailoring job search materials or interview responses to a company’s focus.
The "Career Research Resources" box provides library resource suggestions that can be used for general career research. Company and industry sources can be used for analysis.
