When you look for a company to work for, what do you trust? Word of mouth or perhaps a scam blog site or do you actually review the source? In this day and age it is difficult to do a job search without running into some review blog that depicts the company in question as a scandalous oppressor of the working class. Seriously this sort of thing is going on as I type this.
A lot of these scam blogs and company review sites are written by folks with no work ethic or drive so they would rather feel better by mocking and griping about a company that gave this writer the opportunity to a career and asked only that the person do the hard work and strive. Now for those of you looking to find real work and succeed in a career you will be happy to be a part of, here a few helpful hints will get you ready to go.
Check the job sites. Monster.com, careerbuilder.com, Indeed.com and Beyond.com are just a few of the many reputable sites that can not only find work in your area but give you a review of what is expected of yet environment. These sites are there and ready to assist you in finding that oh so needed work. For example: DMA Portland has openings currently for entry level as well as management positions. How did I find that out? I simply looked it up.
Review the BBB.org for one. The Better Business Bureau's sole reason for being is to hold businesses to accountability. They keep track of genuine complaints and grievances against the company in question as well as the praises and hails of companies' accomplishments, their hire rating and overall standings they follow.
Look at the company's website and review the information presented. With any company large or small they commonly have a company website explaining to you their mission statement, who they are, what they what they want of potential hire ons, their location and finally their contact information. This is convenient when looking for work and gives you some perspective of the business up close.
Talk to a person that works at the company. You've done all your homework and get the concept of what this company does but you still have questions. Talk the HR of the company and ask your inquiries. Review if this company offers stock options, 401K and health benefits. Pay attention to what he or she has to say, make some notes and give your knowledge of the company you looked into to show your spirit. Stay professional and take in what they have to say.
Sure you could rely on a blame board and snarky blogs as a way to find work, but at the end of the day it is just better to think for yourself. After review, chatting up the contact at your choice company makes more sense and gives you the comprehensive view of the people you will be working with. These little steps give back in making the grade, finding the job that encourages you to excel and make something of your life.

Any business can be hurt by negative reviews. Be sure to visit an up-and-coming PR move that is proactive at the DMA Portland scam page. Complainers can voice their opinion directly with the company. Good move DMA.
