Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Exploring a wide range of firms and positions increases your chances of finding a job that is a good fit for your skills and interests. It also helps you to prepare for interviews by giving you a better idea of the industries and companies you would like to work for. Focusing on only two or three companies could limit your options and make it harder to find a job. Realizing that employers rarely expect candidates to have done any research is not a good approach, as doing research shows initiative and interest in the company. Expecting fewer job offers could limit your confidence and ultimately affect your job search.
