Directories & Profiles
Business directories and profile websites can be good sources of information about potential employers—and all the other companies in that market or industry.
Third party websites give you an opportunity to look at the employer from a different angle—the kind of opportunity you can turn into a job lead. For example, an item on a profile website might show you that the employer is dealing with challenges that could benefit from your skills and experience.
When you visit a third party website to check out an employer, look for:
- links to competitors—they may also be employers you could work for
- recent news items about the company–this could generate job leads or information to help you tailor your resumé or prepare for an interview
- descriptions of the organization’s activities, staff, products and services that will help you assess your fit
- ratings that will help you decide if the employer is right for you, e.g. Top 100 Employers or financial performance ratings.
To access business directories and profile websites, just enter the company’s name into a search function at the following websites:
