Talk to people: Find people who work for or know about the
company. This could be people you meet at a job fair, family
members, neighbors, parents of friends, students who graduated
ahead of you, alumni contacts, etc.
The employer's web site: If you know the URL for an employer's
web site, go there. If you don't know the URL, do a google
search on the organization name.
Do internet research: Some online newspapers or directories
will be a very useful source with
reports or discussions on the corporations. Explore the links
they provide.
Get insight on the industry: Search articles in newspapers,
business publications, and professional journals.
Call or write the organization and ask for information: This is
perfectly appropriate to do, especially if the organization is
small or you simply cannot find information about the
organization through other sources. If you have an interview
scheduled with an employer, the employer should have already
provided information (web site, brochures, etc.); if not, ask
for this.
