Career research - finding company and industry information

Do your homework before you contact a company.
Gather as much information as you can. The online databases provide a wealth of detail on companies and industries.

Proquest
Start here by checking the thesaurus for industry terms to search as a subject term combined with a geographical area or other relevant terms.

Business Source Premier
Great for industry profiles. Search the industry as a subject term, then click on Industry profiles. Also contains Datamonitor company profiles.

Mergent and Reuters Business Insight
Contains industry reports on technology, energy, finance,
health care and consumer goods.

GMID Euromonitor
Look here for statistical information and market reports.
