EXTRA Credit!! - Research companies and impress the recruiters!
One thing that really impresses a recruiter is if you as a job seeker have gone the extra distance to research BOTH the specific company AND the specific industry. For example, if you were interviewing with Enterprise Rent-A-Car, you would know ERAC inside and out at least from their website, and you would also research the whole 'rental vehicle' industry.
