Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Kennedy's career-advice column appears in more than 100 newspapers; she has led the way in showing how technology has added another dimension to the job-search process. Her Electronic Job Search Revolution (1994) recommends ways to utilize and take advantage of electronic re{‚}sume{‚}s, employer databases, and online classifieds. Now she offers job hunters this navigational guide to the Internet. After providing an introduction to Internet basics (terminology, equipment needs, and services provided), Kennedy demonstrates that job information can be found using the Internet's interactive discussion groups and bulletin boards. She also identifies what job postings are listed on the 'Net and explains how to respond to them, showing how to post and format a re{‚}sume{‚}. In addition, Kennedy suggests using the Internet's databases to do research on companies and prepare for interviews. This should prove to be an invaluable guide that will be much in demand. Buy lots of copies! David Rouse --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: Hook Up, Get Hired!: The Internet Job Search Revolution (Paperback)
I read this book in 2005 and it was crap. A decade has past and it's totally out of date.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Catalyst for Millennium Career Marketing, May 19, 1999
By A Customer
I read this book from cover to cover in 1995 and it catapulted my career in Recruiting and Online Consulting. It gave pertinent information for career marketers and job seekers who wanted to branch into the unknown. It did not boast of 100% guarantees but it promised information and delivered. I am a long time fan of Kennedy.
