Research Tools for Your Job Search

Are you trying to uncover a contact within one of your target companies? Or perhaps you're trying to discern what the culture is like within your target company? Or maybe you've got a job interview next week and you're wondering what kinds of questions to expect?

Glassdoor is a great resource for any of the above topics. Glassdoor consists of a database of six million company reviews, CEO approval ratings, salary reports, interview reviews and questions, and more. The cool thing about it is that the information is entirely shared by the employees.

When researching using Glassdoor, if you notice some unfavorable reviews on a target company, it may be from some disgruntled current or former employees. You may want to do further research using some other online tools to check for consistency. A couple of other tools you can use are:

Hoovers Online
Book of Lists
Business Journal
LinkedIn
