7 Ways to Screw Up a Job Interview

Avoid the Mistakes That Will Lose You the Job

5. Asking What the Company Does

Why is it bad?: Conducting research on corporate initiatives is easily accomplished online. If you haven't done your homework, you won't impress hiring managers. 

What to do instead: Show off what you've researched about the company prior to the interview by linking your skills and work history to existing corporate projects. Also, if you know who you're interviewing with, do some research on him/her and try to find some common ground so you can form a strong connection during the interview.
