Here's how you can effectively research a company before an interview.

Este punto es relevante especialmente para aquellos que buscan un empleo a largo plazo, ya que deben asegurarse de pertenecer a un entorno alineado con sus aspiraciones y objetivos profesionales.

To effectively research a company before an interview I would leverage Claude or ChatGPT. First I would take the domain of the company and turn it into a markdown text. Then I would use this prompt: "create a overview of {COMPANY} from reading the markdown file attached." Then I would copy & paste the job description into the same thread and run the following prompt: "Prepare a candidate for an interview for the role below. Questions + sample answers to expect. Stories to display" You could also do another step and upload your resume into the thread and ask it to do the preparation and stories based on your actual resume.

Scour the website! I did this before I went for a position at one of the biggest schools in Cambodia. I learned so much about them and how they operate that by the time I got in the interview, I could tell them just about everything they stood by and why. Do your research!

"Knowledge is power." - Francis Bacon. ?? Start your research on the company's official site. Dive into the "About Us" page, but also explore products, services, and client testimonials. ??

Effectively research a company before an interview by exploring their website, recent news, social media, employee reviews, and competitor comparisons.

If you really want to understand what's happening around a certain company or its industry over time it makes sense to check out Google Alerts. Once you have configured it what takes maybe 15 minutes, you'll get news about the news every day.

Social media platforms offer a glimpse into the company's culture and public engagement. Following the company's LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook pages can reveal their latest projects, corporate culture, and how they interact with the public. For example, understanding their community involvement and employee engagement initiatives can provide valuable talking points during your interview, demonstrating your interest in the company’s culture.

Sería importante considerar si tu forma de ser y de pensar se adapta a la manera en la que la empresa se muestra en sus redes sociales.

While applying and interviewing, I always reach out to current employees in three buckets. 1. Current employees with same titles. 2. employees from sister teams 3. employees no longer with company but were a part of the same team. To increase the chances of response, i try to see if i can get any employees from my alma matter, who can make an introduction to the current team members. I always mention that i would only take 10 min of anyone's time for a quick chat and ask them questions about work, company, culture and growth within the team and the company. I feel I am able to gain genuine and personalized responses with the opportunity of asking follow up questions first-hand through the above method. Thank you, hope this helps.

Websites like kununu or Glassdoor can give you insights from (former) employees that can help you prepare for interviews. The more you know about the challenges in companies for example the better you could navigate around them or use them for your advantage in your interview.

Talking to current or former employees provides an inside perspective. Platforms like LinkedIn are great for connecting with employees and understanding the company from an insider's viewpoint. Gathering firsthand information about the work environment and expectations can be invaluable. For instance, insights about the company’s collaborative culture and leadership style can help you tailor your responses and better prepare for the interview.

I recommend checking Undelucram(for the Romania market), which is a great site where employees, former employees, and even candidates share their experiences with a company. Also, be sure to look at LinkedIn. See how active the employees are on the platform, whether the company has a strong brand presence, and if you have any connections working there. You can reach out to those connections to ask about their experiences.

You can gather additional information in the interview. Choose 1- 2 questions that are important to you and ask those questions to all of your interviewers. Remember, you are also interviewing them. I always ask, "Tell me about your company culture and how you see it put into action on a daily basis." and "Tell me how the company supports professional development and how they have supported you in this." The more consistent the answer, the more I know about if I want to work there or not.

Preparing questions and answers based on your research is essential. Tailoring your responses shows that you are well-prepared and genuinely interested in the position. Practice articulating how your skills and experiences align with the company’s goals. For instance, preparing specific questions about the company’s strategic direction and your potential role in it can leave a lasting impression and demonstrate your proactive approach.

On your to do list make sure you write down your personal and corporate values and align them with those of the company. Have they been in the news lately? What was it regarding? Social responsibility or other. Pay the company a visit if time allows, talk to real people, and ask key questions that matter to you. Check the website, when was the content updated. You do not have to make decisions based on old content. Email the company for more information, it demonstrates your enthusiasm to know more about their projects and activities.

Consider the company's future plans and long-term goals. Being knowledgeable about the company’s future direction and showing how you can contribute positions you as a proactive and forward-thinking candidate. Researching a company’s future projects and growth areas allows you to discuss how your skills could support their strategic initiatives, making you stand out as someone who is not just thinking about the present but also the future.
