Create a list of the facts you already know about the target company. Then create a list of questions that you would like to find the answers to. Use the questions in this section as a guide; think of additional questions that are specific to the position, industry, company, or location.

Now use the Internet, the library, and your network to find the answers to as many of your questions as you can. Write up your research in a clear and easy to reference way. Remember: good research takes time and patience.
