If you are interested in developing a business career, don’t be deterred by the state of the economy. Today, in some sectors, small businesses are doing better than ever. With the collapse of large financial firms and insurance businesses in recent months, many job seekers are choosing to cast their lot with more modestly sized companies. Forbes Magazine recently published a list of the 200 best small companies of 2009, so let’s take a look at the top ten:
- Lumber Liquidators
- Allegiant Travel
- Quality Systems
- LHC Group
- Green Mountain Coffee Roasters
- Transcend Services
- Rackspace Hosting
- NVE
- American Public Education
- American Science and Engineering
Each and every one of the above companies has shown both sales and earnings growth and has an annual revenue between $5 and $750 million. These publicly traded companies have stock prices no lower than $5, so while they are “small” by big business standards, each one of the above is large enough to offer you, as a potential employee, all the benefits you expect from a successful corporation. When you are seeking employment, lists like these will be helpful to you. You must always consider that you don’t just want someone to hire you, you want the right company to hire you. You want a company whose success has been publicly announced in a list such as the Forbes 200 Most Successful Small Companies. Such an accreditation gives you confidence that this company will grow with you!
