An important part of the job search process is to explore your interests, skills, and values. It's just as important to evaluate organizations that might offer you career opportunities. This is true for two reasons.
1. Learning about an organization in advance can be the key to a successful interview. If you don't know the basic facts about an employer, much interview time might be taken up asking questions you could have easily answered in advance.
Failure to do your homework before an interview--to read as much as you can about the company or organization--can quickly turn off recruiters.
They may wonder about your interest if you didn't bother to learn even the most basic information.
2. The effect your first job can have on the rest of your career--and life. A good choice can play an important role in leading to professional success and personal happiness. A bad choice can have the opposite results.
The following is a list of key facts you should learn about any company or organization in which you're interested.
