Do your homework before you apply

Interviews are a two-way street. Job assignments help you to assess the company as well.

• Good companies clarify the steps of the interview process and the duration of each step. They offer salary ranges upfront.
• Companies that need a lot of prep work up front while withholding job offers may have a bad reputation. Ensure to check social media and review sites to find out if this is a company technique.
• If you can, choose a company with timely and transparent practices.
