4.0 out of 5 stars A very useful book, April 4, 2006

This review is from: Guide to Internet Job Searching 2006-2007 (Paperback)

I thought this book was very helpful. Of course, it is always easier to find jobs through your own personal and professional networks, but if you don't have that, internet searching is a good way to go. This book has many links available for jobs, internships and coops, and .... It also has job sites categorized by state and that was particularly helpful to me.
Overall, I recommend this book to anybody who's looking to find a job by using the internet.

This review is from: Guide to Internet Job Searching 2006-2007 (Paperback)

I think this is the 4th or 5th version of this book which is updated every 2 years (or so). They are always excellent!

The Guide to Internet Job Searching is focused on helping people to leverage the Internet and the Web for job search. You'll find very thorough and thoughtful explanations of how to use different technologies, including warnings - with advice - about dangers you may be facing. Then, you'll find an extensive and detailed directory of job search resources, organized into logical and useful categories.

Practical, "actionable" advice, and up-to-date resources. Great combination!
