Research Companies
Public, Private, and Non-Profit Organizations
An important step in effective career planning is to conduct company research and become informed about the kinds of organizations that are out there. Comprehensive information is available on many public, private, and non-profit organizations. Collecting this information will be helpful in not only understanding those companies that reflect your career interests, but you may also find that your interests and options are more extensive than you think!

Also note that the use of social media to learn about and engage with companies is becoming increasingly popular (professional etiquette still applies) and even the library's databases (LexisNexis and others) can help with conducting company and market research.
