Every year, Saskatchewan Business Magazine (published by
Sunrise Publishing), researches and develops a list of the top 100 companies
doing business in Saskatchewan. The
SASKBUSINESS TOP 100, which can be found in their magazine or online at www.sasktop100.com
is an excellent research tool for the job seeker.
The website provides the job seeker with the company’s name, ranking from (from 1 to 100), location, Chief Executive Officer’s name, number of employees and the company’s major shareholder. In addition you can click on the company name and immediately be linked to the company website.
From there you can continue to do your research on the
company, including its mission, vision and values. Companies use their websites to highlight
their company by offering information including: profile, history, employee
directories, annual reports, locations, news, community involvement and
information on how to contact them. And
perhaps most important to the job seeker, companies often advertise for staff
on their websites and the may not advertise anywhere else.
While vising company websites make sure you search out their
‘careers’ button (often not easy to find) and click on it. You may find a host of opportunities you
might never see on mainstream job search websites and job banks.
