(2)read about the company online from their website and from other sources such as Wikipedia, Facebook, and LinkedIn to learn about the company's history, locations, major clients and products, names of leaders and owners, and the mission and values; and
(3)search for the company in the news to learn about current events. Check Angie's List, the Better Business Bureau, Consumer Reports, Best Doctors, and local news and industry newsletters.
