Why do company research as part of your job search? 

• To create targeted company lists

• Ascertain if a company would be a good fit for your personality, skill set and career goals. This would be accomplished by looking at the company’s products and services, corporate stability, goals, culture, and hiring practices

• To be prepared to ask meaningful questions and provide strong answers in interviews and networking conversations

• Scope out specific areas of the company in which your talents and interests could fill an unmet hiring need
