corporations(集團(tuán)公司) as a group offer all kinds of jobs. most large companies send people to colleges to meet graduating students with the required academic(學(xué)科 專業(yè)) training .a large university may have more than 500 companies a year knocking on its doors. big firms are your best place for a job because their normal growth, employee retirements(雇員退休) , and turnover(缺額補(bǔ)充) offer thousands of jobs nationwide each year.
corporations, however, explain the rule that the biggest isn't always the best. many small firms with just a few hundred employees have positions that many agree with your profession(職業(yè)) need, too. such firms may not have the time, money, or need to send people around to your college; you'll probably have to get in touch with them yourself either directly or through an employment agency(職業(yè)介紹所) . don' t look down upon these little companies. their salaries are usually competitive (競爭的) and the chances for advancement ( 提升 ) and recognition ( 認(rèn)可 ) are even stronger than those of a big firm. you could become a big fish in a small pond, reaching a high-level position more quickly than you would if you had climbed the more competitive ladder of a group giant(巨人) .
