The interviewer wants to see that you have done your homework before the interview. Before any job interview, you want to review the company website, the job announcement, social media accounts, and online reviews to learn all you can about the organization. You should know who the CEO or Director is, the company mission statement, core values, the population they serve, and the vision statement.
