The dossier names all available materials that relate to one specific issue. Such information can be collected both for an individual person and for a legal entity as a whole.
Instructions
Step 1
Determine the purpose of obtaining information. The path of your future search will depend on this. In order for the dossier to be well compiled and to provide the complete requested information about the object, write down the points of all the parties that need to be covered. If you need to find information about a person, at a minimum, you will need data such as last name, first name and patronymic, gender, phone number, date and place of birth, address of residence. It will not be superfluous to collect information about the time and place of study, work, occupation. For a deeper analysis, you will need information about appearance, hobbies and character traits, marital status and immediate family members. To conduct a deeper analysis, it is necessary to collect basic information about the close people of this person.
Step 2
Gather information that is publicly available. A lot of data can be obtained from the Internet. If you are studying the activities of any company, go not only to its official website, to those that mention the name of this organization, or key persons who are its employees or founders. Information about an individual can be gleaned from social networks. There you can get information about his appearance, friends, hobbies and tastes. On some sites, you can even find out what a person is doing at the moment, if he is blogging or changing statuses.
Step 3
Work with original information. If you know only one fact from the biography of a person or the activities of a company, you can start with it, gradually building up the information. Based on already known data, you can deepen the study of the object. Use non-standard ways to find information. Sometimes you can learn a lot about a person by meeting their former school teacher, and you can learn a lot about the organization by talking with former employees.
