of Target Organizations
Direct application to companies and organizations can yield very
successful results. Once your goal is established and your documentation
created, you can begin to compile a list of firms that you want
to apply. Via brainstorming, you can create a list of firms that
you know in the field you are seeking employment. But what about
the organizations you don't know? To learn about them, consider
these resources:
