以下の情報源から多くの情報を得られます
- 会社HP
(採用ページだけでなく製品・サービス内容、プレス・リリース、株主・投資家情報、CSRなど色々な情報があります)
- 決算報告
- 最近のニュース/雑誌/インターネット記事
- 社員、社長のブログ
- 前社員や現社員による企業評価に特化しているウェブサイト
<例> Vorkers & キャリコネ

また、あなたの興味ある企業やそこで働く社員を知る人たちとできるだけ多く話すようにしましょう。(例 社員、取引先企業、競合企業)

上記リサーチの内容は面接でとても役立ちますし、面接時の質問内容をリサーチで分からなかった内容に絞り込んで準備できます。

自分自身について聞かれる質問に準備をしましょう

募集をかけているマネージャーの立場になって、どんな質問をされるか考えてみましょう。
締め切り、顧客の圧力や勤務態度の悪い部下など、どのような困難な状況を管理し乗り切ったことがあるか、といった質問がプロジェクト・マネージャー採用の面接では聞かれます。
