I haven’t done a great deal of research at work, but I do a lot of it on my own. Before I make any major purchases, take any medication, or go on vacation, I do a lot of research. I’m very good at it. The librarians at my local library are a great resource, so I make sure to go to them when I need help. It would have been nice if this job candidate could have drawn on work experience to highlight his research skills, but since he couldn’t, he did the next best thing. He gave examples of what kind of research he has done and explains how he does it.
Never Say: “I guess so. I like using the Net.” An avid Internet user does not necessarily make a good researcher.
