WHY BOTHER RESEARCHING THE COMPANY? AT LEAST THREE REASONS: YOU SHOW HOW YOUR SKILLS CAN BENEFIT THE MISSION, YOU SHOW YOU CARE AND CAN DEMONSTRATE CRITICAL AND RELATIONAL THINKING.

There is an overwhelming amount of info out there and people are swamped. However, short pointers may be absorbed better. Each week, once or twice weekly, I will zero in on a specific area of job search, so my tips will encompass everything. A comprehensive offering will include one aspect of categories including cover letters, resumes, interviewing; effective networking and other issues that arise (references, thank you letters, Internet applications, and anything else pertinent).
Good luck job hunters!

If you know about the company, its profiles and credit reports, you’ll know how you fit in and why and will successfully project it to an employer. You will also see if you like that company.
