When you're scheduling an interview, the employer is going to want to learn as much about you as he or she can in that half hour or so. So why shouldn't you do the same?
Home work time!
Before your interview, do some due diligence about the company that you'll be interviewing for. You can find a lot of interesting information simply by searching the Internet. There are usually websites about the company, websites that rate the company and even website where employees give their own reviews. Have you ever read the reviews about a restaurant before you decided to make a reservation? Same concept here, just the potential of a much longer dinner.
You may even be able to find a bio about the person that will be performing the interview. Now that can be a real ice breaker, and show the interviewer that you're pro-active and intelligent.
If you're on Myworkster.com (shameless plug ;)) the inside connections module will help you to find people from your college or university who already work at these companies. Contact them! Ask them about the company. Getting the inside track is key.
