(March 21, 1997): Before you go on the next interview, dig in to the facts about your potential employer. These links should get you the bulk of what you need:

• Big Book Lists companies by industry.
• The Bureau of Labor Statistics
• The Census Bureau A little knowledge never hurt anyone. Learn all you can. Search these links to very important research tools: Fortune 500 company info, World Wide Web Virtual Library, statistics, news and more.
• Dun & Bradstreet - Business Trends
• Hoover's Profiles of the Top 100 FORTUNE 500 Companies
• Investor Relations Resource: Public Companies NETworth lists the home pages established for public companies, providing information about their products and services, as well as press releases.
• The World Wide Yellow Pages

(March 20, 1997): The Internet is home to about 50,000 mailing lists on a huge range of subjects. Each list has between 10 and 10,000 subscribers. (Liszt is a searchable index of over 35,000 of them and includes a great introduction to mailing lists).

Mailing lists vary significantly in frequency, content, tone and local culture. Essentially, they are all groups (communities) that communicate by sending email through the mailing list software. You send a piece of mail to the mail software and it distributes it to the rest of the group.

Joining a mailing list deserves careful consideration before you make the plunge. Simply following all of the traffic through your email box can be a daunting prospect. But, mailing lists are one of the best places to network with other members of your industry. It's possible, over time, to build close relationships with colleagues a (and the occasional recruiter).
