Using the Stats

As you search, don't forget to...

  • Set priorities and rank the factors that you think would be useful for you to investigate.
  • Take thorough notes.
  • Keep in mind the reputation of your source.
  • Realize that everything is not written down. Some of your company research can also come from informational interviewing with alumni.

Get Started Early!

  • The information you find out will be helpful in your first and second round interviews, but may also help you later on in the job search process as you begin to evaluate job offers.
