Corporations as a group offer a variety of jobs. Most large companies send people to colleges to interview graduating students with the required academic training. A large university may have more than 500 companies a year knocking on its doors. Big firms are the best places for a job because their normal growth, employee retirements and turnover create thousands of job openings nationwide each year.
    Corporations, however, illustrate the rule that the biggest isn’t always the best. Many small firms with a few hundred employees have positions that may correspond with your professional goals, too. Such firms may not have the time, money or need to send people around to your college; you will probably have  to contact them yourself either directly or through an employment agency. Don’t ignore these little companies. Their salaries are usually competitive and the chances for advancement and recognition 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 corporate giant.
    For example, a small company may need a bright engineering, accounting or management graduate who report directly to the senior vice-president of engineering, the company controller or the general manager. In large firms it may take years to reach that level and accumulate similar in-depth experience. So big companies might not he the best choices for job seekers. In addition, responsibilities may come faster in a small firm with less specialization and fewer lower-level employees to receive delegated authority
