Don't Forget About this Skill

If you are doing a self-assessment of your skills you have probably included in some form your work ethic and the fact you are a team player. However, if you are scratching your head for skills to include I recommend that you include Internet Researcher. Let me show you how you can prove or improve your internet research skills.

Research Companies

One of the most overlooked Job Search tools is not going directly to the websites of companies that interest you. For example I recommend that you create a list of 5 companies that interest you and go directly to their company websites and search for job opportunities. If you have an interview make sure that you thoroughly research the companies website prior to your interview. It will show the interviewer that you are serious about working for their company. Make sure that you are aware of the biggest current happenings at the company.

Research People

If you know who you will be interviewing with you may want to research them so that you can build a connection with them during your interview. In this case you can use websites like Linkedin, BrightFuse, or Facebook to conduct your internet research.

Research Topics

If there is information that you need on any subject then you can search for it on the internet. In short develop methods to find the information that you need quickly. Your skill in doing this could potentially benefit you at your next job.
