Recently, ResumeDoctor.com surveyed over 2,000 recruiters and hiring managers worldwide in order to find out what questions are most frequently asked during job interviews. Participants came from a variety of industries, including information technology, marketing and sales, finance, and healthcare.

It is absolutely vital that a candidate do their homework prior to an interview. Preparation should involve at least some research to find out a basic knowledge of the company's background and an understanding of the position. The Internet is a wonderful resource for such a task. To recruiter Nina Blaicher of Construction Data Corporation it's pretty simple, "If they have not taken the time to review the site, I usually view it as a negative. I think candidates should do some research before they come in to interview, especially since information is so readily available these days."

Recruiter Tip: As mentioned in Recruiter Tip # 1, there is no reason why a candidate cannot call the company and ask the receptionist about firm. Do not be afraid of the phone, as likely, people skills will be a big part of the job. Candidates often will be surprised at how much valuable info can be gained from just a quick call!
