Was hoping maybe some of you could give me an idea on where to find some information... Seem like a pretty knowledgeable bunch! I'm looking for a site that lists corporations, graduate hire rates, benefits, salary... that sort of thing. Forbes list has some of this, but doesn't give a full list of benefits or sometimes just has information missing. No worries if you can't, just thought it'd be an interesting read.
Well, while contemplating how to find such information I came up with an idea from -kevin-'s Alabama HR Policy thread. I'm sending out contact e-mails to various Fortune 500 companies with a survey of sorts. I'm conducting two at the moment. The first one is a simple questionnaire for companies I'd be interested in working with, requesting information about undergraduate employment, benefits, salary, etc. The second I'm sending to the Fortune 1000's top 5 companies, in regard to their views on non-traditional/innovative education (distance learning). As well as their views on Regional vs National accreditation if any. I'm setting up a website for the results now. It'll be interesting to see who replies and what their responses will be. I'll keep you guys in the loop!
Have you tried ( www.jigsaw.com ). I just found the site. They claim to have a directory of corporate business contacts. Take a look at hoovers.com if your interested in doing research on corporations. Let me know what you find.
I found that going to the corporation websites and actually getting into the application process will usually get you to a lot of the information you seek. A large employer normally has various programs listed. for example Microsoft and Lowes have programs for MBA grads, interns, etc... as for the accreditation acceptance issue, read Drs Bear and Douglas's dissertations. An update would be nice.
