Researching Employers

Purpose$/$Overview$/$Directions:

Identifying the right career for you is both important and difficult. Once you$$ve narrowed the options, the next step is to identify the right employer. A career is much more than a job and it$$s essential you consider the long term fit as well as the short$-$term compensation and responsibilities. The right job in the right career at the wrong company can be a miserable situation.

Your task is to research at least two major employers, through their websites and other sources $($company literature, employee publications, current or former employees, business sections of local and national newspapers, etc.$)$ answer the following questions for each and submit in Memo format to your instructor.

Avoid retyping questions.
