Plunkett's Employers' Internet Sites with Careers Information 2004-2005


Introduction

PLUNKETT’S EMPLOYERS’ INTERNET SITES 2004-2005
is an easy-to-use solution to what would otherwise be a complicated problem: How can you tell, among all of America’s major employers, which companies are posting the most useful career information on the Internet? No other source provides this book’s easy-to-understand comparisons of online data regarding treatment of employees, current job openings, career paths, salaries, benefits and many other items of great importance to job seekers.

Especially helpful is the way in which PLUNKETT'S EMPLOYERS' INTERNET SITES enables readers with little Internet experience to readily search each Web site for the information they need.

Information is presented in a way that will satisfy the differing interests of individual job seekers. You'll find descriptions of numerous aspects of a company's work environment.

While the book is aimed primarily at job seekers, it will also be of value to researchers, marketing executives, and personnel professionals. PLUNKETT'S EMPLOYERS' INTERNET SITES is the only guide to the most detailed and useful corporate web sites containing careers information.

PLUNKETT'S EMPLOYERS' INTERNET SITES is your opportunity to become an online job search expert in a matter of minutes. Five hundred of the biggest, most successful corporate employers in America are listed in this book. Their corporate web sites have been analyzed in detail, along with other pieces of information gathered from a wide variety of sources, and are presented here in a unique form that can be easily understood by job seekers of all types.

Thanks to PLUNKETT'S EMPLOYERS' INTERNET SITES exclusive data system, potentially confusing considerations have been reduced to simple groups of focused data. By scanning the data groups and the long list of unique indexes, you can find the best employers to fit your personal desires. Can you apply for a job online? Is a site searchable by geographic region? Is there a search engine for types of jobs? Does a site post specific job openings? Is benefit plan data available? All of these things and more are made easy for the reader to find.

Thousands of observations are made that will be of great interest to the prospective employee. You'll find comments about items such as size of the firm by annual sales and number of employees. You'll also find notes about special programs for the convenience of employees, such as health and recreation facilities, job training or dress code. Finally, you'll find basic information on each company, including the home office address and telephone number, regional, national and international locations, and a description of the business. You'll even find fax numbers, e-mail addresses, Internet addresses and toll-free phone numbers.

Whatever your purpose for researching corporate employers, you'll find this book to be a valuable guide. Nonetheless, as is true with all resources, this volume has limitations that the reader should be aware of:

  • Financial data and other corporate information can change quickly. A book of this type can be no more current than the data that was available as of the time of editing. Consequently, the financial picture, management and ownership of the firm(s) you are studying may have changed since the date of this book. For example, this book includes the most up-to-date sales figures available to the editors as of early 2004. That means that we have typically used financial data for December 31, 2003, or for a fiscal year that ended during 2001.

  • Corporate mergers, acquisitions and downsizing are occurring at a very rapid rate. Such events may have created significant change, subsequent to the publishing of this book, within a company you are studying.

  • Some of the companies in THE ONLINE EMPLOYERS 500 are so large in scope and in variety of business endeavors conducted within a parent organization that we have been unable to completely list all subsidiaries, affiliations, divisions and activities within a firm's corporate structure.

  • This volume is intended to be a general guide to major employers in numerous industries. That means that researchers should look to this book for an overview, and, when conducting in-depth research, should contact the specific corporations in question for the very latest changes and data. Where possible, we have listed contact names, toll-free telephone numbers, and World Wide Web site addresses for related government agencies and industry associations, so that the reader may get further details without unnecessary delay.

  • We have used exhaustive efforts to locate, and fairly present, accurate and complete data. However, when using this book or any other source for business and industry information, the reader should use caution and due diligence by conducting further research where it seems appropriate. We wish you success in your endeavors, and we trust that your experience with this book will be both satisfactory and productive.

  • To obtain the best results and to best understand the fields in the company profiles, you should first read the chapter titled “How to Use This Book.”
Good luck in your job search. Be patient, do your research, and use this book as an important start in the right direction.
