Hi,

Are all correct?

1. You should access the website of the company for which you'd like to work.

2. You should access the website of the company which you'd like to work for.

3. You should access the website of the company for which you'd like to work for further information.

4. You should access the website of the company which you'd like to work for for further information.

If any of them is incorrect, please tell me the reason and correct them.

Thanks

1. You should access the website of the company for which you'd like to work. (this is ok)

2. You should access the website of the company ~~which~~ you'd like to work for.

3. You should access the website of the company for which you'd like to work for further information. (i would put a comma after "work")

4. You should access the website of the company ~~which~~ you'd like to work for for further information.

2. You should access the website of the company (which / that) you'd like to work for.

All are correct.
Stylistically, I'd prefer to place for further information at the beginning of the sentence. For one thing, it will avoid that for for combination seen in sentence 4.
