As some of you may know I used to work at Purdue University as an academic librarian. I had the privilege to work with the staff of the Center for Career Opportunities. The staff in this office worked closely with the companies that came to interview students and had many great insights to help students. The following is a post on their blog about some of these insights from the company perspective about interviewing.
My first observation is that if you have attended/graduated from a school don't forget your career center. They usually have services for alumni as well as current students. These can be very valuable for your job search.
My second observation is that here is another voice mentioning the importance of preparing and researching the company you are about to interview with. I can not stress enough the importance of this step, and here is the voice of the company telling you that it is important!
So use your former college(s), local public library, the internet (social networking like LinkedIn) and any other place you can think of to find information on your perspective employer.
-Good Luck!
