Road to the Workplace: Research Tools

Do you know students who are preparing to go on job interviews?  The Library has a special The Road to the Workplace:Research Tools (RTTW)  to help students prepare for job interviews.  Entering an interview with an awareness of the strengths and challenges facing a company and its industry creates a positive impression, and enables students to highlight their relevant knowledge and skills.
Pathfinder,
The Road to theWorkplace : Research Tools Pathfinder  highlights the resources most helpful in researching an employer prior to an interview.  The guide breaks down the research process for a wide variety of employers, from for-profit companies to non-profits organizations and government agencies.  Databases with daily updates provide articles with the latest information about a company or organization. RTTW also contains guidance on how to read important business documents and provides information about salary ranges for typical jobs in all fields. 
A connected resource, EmployerProfiles Databaseprovides an overview of potential employers and internship providers.  It includes freely available information and links to data, articles and reports available within Marist’s subscription databases.
