Do Your Research




Obviously it's important to know the nuts and bolts of the company of which you are applying for, but you should also be familiar with the culture. If your personality and work style matches that of the organization to which you're applying, your chances of getting hired are much greater. In fact, 25 percent of hiring managers said that a recent college graduate who is a good fit with the company culture is the most influential factor in their hiring decision.

So in other words if you want to work for a prestigious conservative accounting firm then your hair cannot be spiked up in a bright pink mohak. Less superfiscially than that though, in this difficult job market it might be hard to find the perfect fit but try to go after something that at least fits your personaqlity. Do something that interest you andthat you love because the employer will notice, if not at the interview it will definately be apparent in that three month trail period. Blending in with your company's culture is very important.
