What are the best sources of information about high-tech companies to use
as research material when searching for potential employers? I would like
detailed information such as the firm's activities, size, history etc. and
I would like to access this information by company type, geographical
location etc.

I am specifically interested in the Toronto-Hamilton-Niagara-Kitchener-Waterloo
area. I am looking for all high-tech companies, not just those offering
computer-related products or services.

Thanks in advance!

Go to the government bookstore... there is one on Bay Street in Toronto.

I picked up a book "Ontario Software Directory" which is about 200 pages
of company names and addresses (no FAX numbers, though :( ), various other
info (sometimes # of employees is listed), etc.

Similar books must exist for other high tech companies.

A major international bank requires three programmers/analysts
for a three to four month long investment banking project beginning
a.s.a.p. The project involves development of an equity derivatives
trading system (for swaps and hedges) and will be developed in 'C'
and Oracle 6.0 (SQL Forms, SQL Menu 5.0), and within a UNIX environment.
The requirement for the assignment is knowledge of these tools, but
of course a familiarity with investment banking applications or mathematical
modelling is a strong asset. The functional spec. is written and there is
a working prototype for much of the system so these contract assignments
will involve considerable programming.

There is a fourth contract opportunity for a DBASE III programmer
