What to Research?
Useful information about an employer’s mission, values, and any current or recent initiatives and achievements can often be found on their official website and social media profiles. Study these carefully and make references to them in your application and at interview.
You can also find clues about company culture and organisational objectives in the job advert, job description and recruitment section on their website.
Linkedin is a valuable tool for researching companies and finding key contacts. Explore our Build your Networks section for more information.
Attending career events, talks, webinars or conferences hosted by the company can also give you a feel for company culture.
