It was March of 2011 when I interviewed with Enterprise Rent-A-Car for my internship as a Management Trainee Intern. I spent many hours looking through their website in an effort to learn as much about the company as possible to gain information to use during my interview. After many hours of website surfing, I decided to Google search the people I had contacted and my interviewer from HR. As I scrolled down the page, I found Facebook pages, Linkedin pages, and pages that related them to Enterprise. About half way down the page was a link from internships.com. I opened the link and began to read the article. It was an interview which included 5 questions about the application process of interns like myself. I memorized the questions and answers on the website and used them at every opportunity I could during the course of my interview. I don't want to put my success on the website, but I did get the job.
In conclusion, I highly recommend you Google search the company and interviewers you are going to be in contact with. You never know what you are going to find.
Here is the article I found that assisted me in my application process:

nice link, I have also found that the more you know about the company the more comfortable you will be at the interview. Some companies are difficult to find alot of information about, but you can always look at trends in the industry that they do business in.
ReplyDeleteGood to know as I am coming close to the interviewing process. It is a really good idea to stay ahead of the game with researching the companies you have applied to. Although, you spent hours surfing the web, it was well worth it because you found a great link. I will remember this for when I begin to interview. Thanks
