<p>that I looked him up, and know his job and achievements etc.?</p>
<p>definitely don't want to look like a stalker (i didn't look up personal information or anything), but would it show that I care about the interview and that I did background research?</p>
<p>He’s interviewing you – not an opportunity to cozy up with his resume.</p>
<p>I’d be rather weirded out if I knew an interviewee googled me (I’m sure some have however)</p>
<p>I would say that’s a little too much, but creeping your interviewer is definitely a must. I did see my interviewer’s wedding on YouTube though… I ended up telling her about it afterwords since the interview went so well, it ended up being pretty funny.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t say anything. If by chance you were to find out his hobby is knitting because he belongs to a club, don’t bring it up at your interview. I google almost every new person I meet, especially for business. It is not to find their deep dark secret, but to get just a bit of color on his/her political view, employment history, professional affiliation… in order not to say anything inapprorpiate at the meeting. Of course, if I were to find out his/her kid went to same school as my kids, I may casually bring it up.</p>
<p>i don’t think you did anything creepy. I think that what you did was smart, and I’m surprised more students don’t do that. However, there’s no reason to let the interviewer know you looked him up. Use the info to highlight things about you that he’s likely to be interested in. If he’s, for instance, a doctor who is a marathoner who majored in Spanish and volunteers with Doctors without Borders, he may be particularly interested in your community service work and work with Model UN representing a country near where he has volunteered.</p>
<p>Also, Google yourself to see what interviewers may learn about you.</p>
<p>thanks all. i’m having my second interview this weekend, and that was definitely helpful =)</p>
<p>They probably googled you too.</p>
