Back to the Fortune 500 list. You know the saying, there is safety in large numbers (both profit and number of employees). I prefer larger companies (say 20,000 + employees) to smaller companies. The Fortune 500 will give you a larger size, well known company that has been successful (at least in Revenue). Today’s list ranges from manufacturing to financial services. There were over 3,000 job opportunities across this list when I checked their sites.
