Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

"This is an important book and a must-read for all job seekers who don't want to be left behind yesterday's hill. About.com job search guide Alison Doyle unwraps the mysteries of Internet job search, the transformative technology that increasingly determines who gets what job. Living in a super-competitive job market, it's now crystal clear that the decade-old strategy of zipping-off-resumes-to-job boards-and-waiting-for-a-call isn't working the way it once did. In 'Internet Your Way to a New Job', Alison rounds up and explains in plain words all the new tools (which, like Blackberry resumes, seem to have been invented last week). Her topics range from branding yourself and smarter online networking, to confidential job search and trendspotting (what's likely to be invented next week). Millenial or Boomer, trust Alison to make understanding the new tools easy for you."
Joyce Lain Kennedy, Syndicated careers columnist and author of 'Job Interviews For Dummies, 3rd Edition'

"It is very timely and refreshing to see Alison Doyle capture the true power of career networking and the urgent priority of developing an online presence to prosper in today's Internet-driven world! Her play-by-play professional brand building techniques and optimization tactics put success within everyone's reach! With more than 64 million active Facebook users today and more than 17 million professional LinkedIn profiles online, it is not surprising that employers are turning to these leading networks as a top recruitment source, and Alison has done a brilliant job of not only identifying these 'must-use' job seeker networks, but she has provided the online tools to take your career to the next level! This is a supurb resource and practical guide for every active or passive job seeker!"
Julie Craft, VP, Simply Hired, Adjunct Professor & Career Consultant

"Job seekers are competing against thousands of others who are taking full advantage of the speed and efficiency of online job searches. Alison Doyle clearly explains the steps, resources and tools necessary to land a job in today's workplace. This will help anyone looking for a new job!"
Paul Forster, CEO, Indeed.com

"Alison Doyle gets it. With the development of new Web 2.0 tools, the rules of job searching have dramatically changed. Internet Your Way to a New Job goes beyond just showing you how to hunt for jobs. It shows you how to be the hunted."
Rob McGovern, CEO of Jobfox and author of Bring Your "A" Game.

3.0 out of 5 stars Overpriced little book, April 26, 2008
By 
Sonic Reducer (Belmont, MA USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Internet Your Way To a New Job: How to Really Find a Job Online (Paperback)
First of all, its hard to believe that this book costs $20 - there's not enough information here to justify the price tag. Alright, this book was just released so the price might change within some time and what won't change is this...

Plenty of it is common sense, unfortunately. If you use your head, some of this stuff should not be new to you. Yes, there are online resources mentioned throughout the book, but the only new one to me is JibberJobber.

Maybe its good for beginners, but its not very useful if you ever went through an online search before.

1.0 out of 5 stars phony versus real, July 30, 2010
By 
Bill Parker "billcito" (Saint Paul, MN United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I won't name names, but at least one of the highly positive reviews is obviously by the author or publisher, sent under some other name. It's perfectly composed by an advertising or promotion specialist in the style that I myself have been trained in for promotional work! Like most books of its type, this one offers a lot less than it promises. It's mostly stuff you could already figure out on your own, repeated twenty different ways to fill up a book. Don't believe the carefully crafted puff pieces sent as "reviews," believe the people who were at least a bit disappointed! Yes, some people will get something out of it if they just can't think for themselves! Otherwise, save your money. There is a giant racket out there of "self-help" books on just about every topic available, and desperate people spend millions of dollars every year hoping that reading one of them will lift them out of their crisis or unsatisfactory lifestyle. Unfortunately, it seldom happens. But as Barnum said, "There's one born every minute."

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent compendium of job-search tools, techniques and tips!, July 4, 2011
Over the course of our professional lives - especially us Boomers - the job search process has indeed changed, and at the fundamental level. On a volunteer basis, I have been on two teams coordinating a couple of different local (to the suburban Chicago area) job-search ministries since mid-2004. I've also been a participant in a couple of different professional networking organizations as well over that time period.

What I've found is that everyone you talk to at these meetings has an opinion as to how to execute an effective job search - and all of them have real validity. The only problem is, it can take a newly laid-off person several meetings over the course of several months to acquire all the knowledge and context of why you need to do all of the things you need to do today to land your next position. Then you need to figure out how to use the tools themselves. Well - you need to learn how to use those tools that will work for you on your specific career path, anyway.

It's still a very good idea to attend these meetings, seminars, and so forth from the networking perspective, but you will spend a lot of time gathering and trying to make sense of all of these tips.

Alternatively, you can save yourself a ton of time, and buy this book. Especially if you don't know what a blog is, or how to find and read the right RSS feeds, or how (or why) to tweet. If you don't have an effective LinkedIn profile (or even know what that means), or if your Facebook page is pretty weak from the professional perspective, you need this book. As social networking tools blur the lines between what is considered professional and what is considered personal, you need to be aware. Alison Doyle's book puts all those questions to rest, and in a very approachable way.

In this, the third edition of her book, Alison Doyle has brought together a veritable compendium of tips, tricks, and "tools of the trade" that anyone pursuing a job search today - whether active or passive - needs to know about. The challenge for most of us is that the on-line tools that are useful today were probably not even invented the last time we looked for a new position. Alison's book will not only show you which of the many are the proven tools, but where to find them, what those tools actually do, and even what pitfalls to avoid.

Ms. Doyle's book talks about how one can use the tools themselves to help protect your identity on-line, how to identify and avoid scams, and she goes all the way up to generating an effective professional brand on-line - which can be a very delicate balance. She presents this information in a practical context of not only what you should do, but also why. She also calls in experts of all kinds to add their commentary throughout the text as well. This book is full of links and URLs that will show you exactly where to go and what to do next.

This is a very effective manual for how to weave in the electronic portion of your job search in today's world. Bravo, Ms. Doyle!
