Presented by: Jami Xu, Business Librarian at Northwestern
University


For an effective job search, you must research potential employers.  Jami will demonstrate how to use a multitude of online databases available through public libraries to research companies and industries, how to create a list of target companies, stay updated on industry/company news and how to get up to speed on an industry new to you. 


As a business librarian at Northwestern University, Jami is Business Subject Specialist and Liaison to Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.  Prior to that she was a Business Librarian at Gast Business Library, Michigan State University.
