Recap from Workshop on Researching Employers
In case you missed it — here are our top takeaways from our Exploration October workshop, “What Employers Want you to Know!”
Why is employer research important?
- Your research will help you stand out as a candidate. Researching an organization will inform and prepare you so that you can engage in meaningful conversations at networking events and best answer interview questions.
- Identify organizations that could be a good fit for you. You can learn about a company from its digital footprint.
- COVID has disrupted hiring and recruiting, it’s important to broaden horizons outside target companies. The research will help you find key information and learn more about current opportunities at these companies that may be off your radar.
Key resources we highly recommend:
- What to know before you go- researching organizations
- Tools for Organizing your Job Search (Creating a Job Search tracker)
- Your Job/Internship Search Checklist
- Check out our Insider Info for additional employer tips/insights.
- For industry-specific job boards, check out the CCE Industry Pages: Employers in LionSHARE
- Our blog, In the Know, shares updates on the Latest employer hiring trends
At CCE, we encourage you to meet with a career counselor to review and improve your individual employer research strategy.
We will support you in organizing and applying this information so you feel ready to go for your specific job search!
