You are considering jobs with a Fortune 500 company, and you want to learn as much as possible about the company.
Your Task: Select a fortune 500 company and collect information about it on the web. Use your library's ProQuest subscription to access Hoover's company records for basic facts. Then take a look at the company's Web site; check its background, news releases, and annual report. Learn about its major product, service, or emphasis. Find its Fortune 500 ranking, its current stock price (if listed), and its high and low range for the year. Look up its profits-to-earnings ratio. Track its latest marketing plan, promotion, or product. Identify its home office, major officers, and number of employees. In a memo report to your instructor, summarize your research findings. Explain why this company would be a good or bad employment choice.
