If you’re just starting to apply for positions or even if you've already landed that first interview, there are many resources within our collection to help support your job search. Resources including online databases, books, e-books, and videos can be great assets to your job application process.
While there are several databases that would be useful for job hunting purposes, the most useful ones are:
This database includes detailed, accurate and comprehensive full-text company profiles with financial information, executive bios, annual reports, equity reports, competitor analyses, and fact sheets. If you’re researching a particular company, you can search the company’s name or its ticker symbol (if it's publicly traded) to view the company profile.
If you’re searching for companies within a specific industry for the purpose of prospecting, you can search within the database using Standard Industrial Classification codes, SIC, or North American Industrial Classification System codes, NAICS, in order to generate a list of companies. Using advanced search features users may create custom lists of companies based on location using zip codes, area codes, city and county names, or based on size using number of employees or sales.
Business Source Premier and ABI/INFORM Complete
The detailed company information from Mergent Online may be supplemented with news articles from thousands of leading business journals, newspapers, and magazines in both Business Source Premier and ABI/INFORM Complete. Forbes, Fortune, Business Week, the Wall Street Journal, and the Journal of Marketing are some examples. Both databases may be searched using a company name or an industry name.
To access books, e-books, and videos users should search Quicksearch on the library’s website using subject terms, such as, “job hunting”, “resumes”, and “cover letters” to view a wide variety of resources on these topics.
