Exercise 4

You are intrigued by Fortune's annual list of the 100 best companies to work for. You want to work for one of them. You read the good news that many of them are hiring, so you begin searching for a company that has possibilities for you. After narrowing the list, you hone in on one that seems like the best fit.
Your Task. Select a company from Fortune's list of 100 best companies to work for. Note the reasons Fortune added this company to the list, and note the company's ranking out of 100. Then review the company's website and gather information about the company's mission and goals, history, products and services, and current news releases. Find out where the home office is located, who leads the company, and how many employees work there. After researching the company, list your reasons for wanting to work there. In a memo report to your instructor, summarize your research findings. State the purpose, add appropriate section headings, and conclude with your thoughts on why you think this company is a good employment choice.
