10. Get thee to the library.
The Internet is chock full of great information. But give me one good reference librarian and I'll out-research you any day.

Did you know that in most communities you can pick up the phone and your local reference librarian will take your research request (24 hours a day, in some places), dig up the relevant materials you need, and have it all ready for you when you arrive?

If you need to know what cities a company has operations in, who the CEO is, or what recent publications a manager was mentioned in, the librarian can even give you the answers on the phone. Charts, books, statistics, references, lists, articles, you name it.

Not only is the information in the library; an expert researcher will find it for you. For free. (Well, your tax dollars pay for it whether you use the service or not.)

When you walk into an interview, there's no excuse for "not knowing" something. Meet the keepers of the information. Get thee to the library.
