America's Career InfoNet - Use these resources to research a potential employer and industry before an interview. You can also use these sources to find potential employers and initiate contact instead of waiting for them to contact you. The employment experts say that most jobs are never advertised, so letting the hiring managers know that you are available can be the best way to find these opportunities. http://www.acinet.org/acinet/library.asp?category=2.4
