"Your insights on the New World of Work re. googling names, blogs and branded bio on job boards. I put the gooling suggestion to the test and googled the name of the HR director I was to interview with, the following week.  To my luck there was a front page article on the previous company the HR Director worked for and her contribution to successful retention with her dynamic employee programs.  From this article I got a glimpse of her management style and used this to prepare for my interview."
