From Library Journal
If you want to find a job in your town you use the local newspaper, but if you are job-hunting elsewhere, the Internet is an ever-more-popular place to look. The problem is where to start. Most of the major dailies are online along with a zillion other lists and sources apparently randomly listed on several search engines. The title may be a bit over enthusiastic, but the authors do sort through some of the clutter and point out some interesting directions. They also discuss the importance of online resumes and personal web pages in today's market and provide solid advice on designing them effectively. This will be a high-circulation item.

This review is from: How to Get Your Dream Job Using the Internet: The Only Book That Takes You Straight to Thousands of Jobs Worldwide! (Paperback)
As an employment professional and internet novice, I found this book both comprehensive and easy to understand. It offers a thorough education in how to make the internet work for you in your job search by taking the reader through step-by-step instructions on everything from posting resumes on-line to wading through the many search engines to find job postings. One of the most interesting lessons I learned was the vast difference between developing a resume to be seen in hard copy and developing a resume to post on the internet and be sent through email. I successfully used what I learned from this book in my own recent job search, and have since recommended it to all job seekers I work with. A side note, I am not the most sophisticated computer-user. Nevertheless, this book is so well done that I found it neither confusing nor intimidating. The information is presented clearly, logically, simply, but in great and thorough detail. It's worth searching for a copy and I hope it will be reprinted soon.
