Research should include

• comparing employers’ needs to one’s skill set

• evaluating benefits package
• assessing location
• understanding organizational culture.

Process/Skill Questions:

• What resources are available to help one locate potential employers?
• How can one’s knowledge of a business help with one’s chances of securing employment?
• What skills, qualifications, or experiences do this employer look for most, and how well do your own skills match their expectations?
• Why might this employer be a good fit for your long‑term goals based on the benefits, opportunities, or support they provide to employees?
• How does the employer’s location influence your interest—considering factors such as commute time, relocation needs, or regional agricultural opportunities?
• What aspects of the company’s culture stand out to you, and how do they align with your personal strengths and preferences?
• How does this employer compare to others you’ve researched in terms of growth opportunities, workplace expectations, and alignment with your career interests?
