Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Author
The description listed is included as stated in Barron's website description of the book. I do not believe that it is necessary for Amazon to obtain their approval to reprint in the Amazon review section for the book. I, the author pursued and obtained the review from Computer User.com and Barron's was not involved in obtainment of this review in any way. If Amazon would include this review I am certain that its inclusion will increase Amazon sales of the book as well as sales of Amazon affiliates. I appreciate your assistance with this matter. Phil Bartlett, author of Computer Science Resumes and Job-Finding Guide

3.0 out of 5 stars
Informative but very misleading...,
By
This review is from: The Computer Science Resumes and Job-Finding Guide (Paperback)
-The title of the book say's " Computer Science Resumes and Job-Finding Guide" but it also says, " A winning approach for information technology job candidate." Correct me if I'm wrong, but Computer Science should not be confused with IT. Computer Science deals with R&D, Inventions, and Development; while IT usually involved in the context of a BUSINESS and is often used to automate manual task...WITIHIN AN ORGANIZATION.-Primary Skills Requirements(based on 2004) mentioned on page 3, contradicts page 31 listings of today's top IT Jobs.
