<p>It's in the title I suppose: Does any one have any tips on how to find smaller companies that I, or most people, wouldn't have heard of, to apply for jobs with? I don't want to stick to the big names. </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>What career field?</p>
<p>Searching on Linkedin is one resource I would suggest. You should set a profile and make it publicly visible (so potential employers can see), if you haven’t already.</p>
<p>Some college career services departments have databases available that allow you to download companies by industry and size. CareerSearch is the most commoon of these I think, and OneSource is probably second. Check with your career services department to see if they provide access to one of these databases.</p>
<p>These are usually available to alumni as well as students if they have them available.</p>
