LOS ANGELES, Feb. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- The employment market is hotter than ever with many candidates receiving multiple job offers. How can you research potential employers to see if they're the right fit for you? JOBTRAK.COM, the nation's leading online job listing service for college students and alumni, provides these tips: The following resources are excellent sources for research: 1. Corporate Web Site - Company web sites are one of the best places to find out information about a company. Often companies will post their latest press releases on line with the most current company news. You can check out the human resources area for information about employment at a specific company. 2. Annual Reports - These reports and other materials are available from an organization's public relations/information office. Most large organizations produce a report, which presents an outline of the organization's successes, growth, history, goals, and financial status. Annual reports can be found online at FreeEdgar.com. 3. Trade Associations - These organizations produce membership directories, journals (which provide information about trends and issues in the field), and information briefs. They also hold annual conferences for your networking, information gathering, and professional development purposes. Remember almost every type of field or industry that exists has a trade association affiliation (e.g., American Society of Interpreters, Museum Store Association, and National Mental Health Association). 4. Newspapers - The business section of most papers contain numerous articles about local companies and their executives. Articles about non-profit organizations often appear in a newspaper's local interest section. 5. Fellow Professionals - Other professionals in the field can provide "word-of-mouth" information about organizations of interest. 6. Competitors - Often an organization's competitors offer excellent insight about the inner working of that organization. 7. Internet Message Boards - Internet message boards, such as those found on Yahoo! and JOBTRAK.COM often provide an uncensored look into a company.
