So what does it really mean to "research the job"? Paragon's Michael Witcoskie breaks it down into actionable steps, starting with researching the person(s) you will be speaking with in this week's #RecruitingTipTuesday 👇 You’ve got the interview for your perfect job! What do you need to know for the interview? Everyone says to research the job, but what does that mean? Let’s break it down.  ⭐ Research the person(s) you will be speaking with.   ⭐ Research the individual job using the job description, but it’s probably not all there.   ⭐ Research the company (admittedly, this is difficult).  This is part one of a four-part series. Let’s call it my ode to Fast and Furious, Star Wars, Bourne Identity. 🧑💻Today, let’s tackle researching your interviewer(s). One way to research the interviewer is to find what you have in common. Go to their LinkedIn page. You want them to get a notification that you viewed their page. This way, they know that you are doing your homework.  > What school(s) did they go to?   > Where have they worked?  > Did you work at a competitor?   > Have they worked with someone you know?   > Is there someone out there that you didn’t realize could give you a recommendation for this position?   > Do we have shared experiences from our past that can help shape our future together? People have mentioned my past career in coaching basketball and spoken about coaching their son or daughter’s team. Does it automatically get you to the next stage? Absolutely not, but it does let me know that you have done your homework and are very interested in this position. Probably even more importantly, you are going to do your research when we put you in front of a client.  I’ll be back later this week with tips on researching the job better.  #RecruitingTipTuesday #ParagonLegal #Recruiting #JobSearch #Careers #CareerDevelopment #FlexibleLegalTalent

This day marks a pivotal moment in American history, but it also reminds us of the work still ahead.
