Do your Research

Firstly, if you’re going to a new company it is vital that you have a clear idea of their company history. Most companies will feature case studies on their site for observers to browse, take a look at them and form opinions on how it was ran and how you might do things slightly differently. If you’re going for a specialist position at an office ensure that you know your stuff. Brush up on your basic facts and keep up to date with the latest trends and stories within your industry.
