Whether or not jobseekers had to weather Hurricane Sandy, the massive storm that recently battered the U.S. East Coast, there is still much they can learn from it, at least according to Business Insider. Individuals may want to think about how they prepared for Sandy or other severe storms and apply a few of those strategies to upcoming job interviews.

For example, before a hurricane, it is not uncommon for people to rush out to the store and stock up on storm essentials, such as batteries, candles, canned food and water. While these supplies may not be very helpful during an interview, jobseekers have to make sure they are in possession of everything that can leave a good impression on potential employers, including professional attire that fits and flatters.

During a hurricane, individuals need to stay in touch with their loved ones to let them know they are OK. According to the news source, this is similar to how jobseekers need to contact the company to which they are applying, before and after their interview.

U.S. News & World Report states that knowing a company is vital before an interview. This, of course, is similar to people's need to understand an approaching storm and all the havoc it can wreak.

No matter how much jobseekers prepare for their interviews, completing a career test and taking its results into consideration may enhance the odds that they are applying to a company that is a good fit for them.
