Researching Companies Online

Researching Companies Online is one of the best sites dedicated solely to company research. An excellent complement to our own Guide to Researching Companies, Industries, and Countries, Deb Flanagan's company research tutorial offers some areas ours doesn't offer, and vice versa.

The tutorial, recognized among the best Career Management sites by CareerXRoads, The Directory to Job, Resume, and Career Management Sites on the Web, presents a step-by-step process for finding free company and industry information on the World Wide Web.

Research areas covered enable job-seekers and others to:

• Monitor Company News and Periodicals
• Review Public Opinion
• Learn about an Industry
• Use Business and Financial Meta-sites

All of the sites described in the course offer FREE information.
