Careers Service
The aim of this handout is to direct you to resources for finding companies, especially small and medium sized
companies. Some of these sites have dedicated careers or jobs pages. Many, however, are industry bodies. They are
most useful in providing lists of member companies. Look out for useful links, handbooks, yearbooks, directories,
suppliers or product locators. Try the “membership”, “publications”, “about us” or “information” sections for listings.
