Before interviewing for a job, you should learn all you can about the company to help prepare you to ask meaningful questions during the interview. To find out more about a company, you can conduct market research before you interview.

Assignment

1. Choose at least two local companies for which you might like to work.

2. Contact your local Chamber of Commerce. (The Chamber of Commerce collects information about local businesses, and most of its services are free.) Ask for the information you desire.

3. Call the Better Business Bureau in your community (or check online) to determine if there are any complaints against the companies you are researching.

4. Prepare a report summarizing your findings.
