Research Companies and Careers

One of the biggest reasons cited by human resources executives for failure in interviews is lack of preparation - i.e. the candidate didn't do his or her homework about the company.

With all of the advancements in technology, there is an immense amount of information available on the Internet. It can be difficult to identify the most reliable sources to use while researching both companies and careers. It is also important to realize the internet is not the only resource you should use to do your research. We will help you use resources such as databases, social networking sites, networking, library resources, online job boards, and salary surveys, to assist you in understanding job requirements, salary ranges, and to get the "inside track" on companies you are targeting.

Informational Interviewing

Not knowing what to expect is one of the major barriers to changing careers. You don't have to use a "trial and error" method to figure out whether you should make that investment. Informational interviewing is a strategy that involves talking to people in a chosen career field to test out the information you have gathered from assessments and your research.

The consultants at Career Momentum will guide you through the proper procedures of how to conduct a professional and effective informational interview.
