From Booklist
All entries consist of company or organization name, address, and phone number. About 95 percent of the entries include a contact name; about 5 percent, a fax number. For each entry, one of the following industry classifications is assigned: career and vocational service, employee-leasing service, employment agency, employment-training service, executive-search consultant, outplacement consultant, r{‚}esum{‚}e service, or temporary-help contractor.
How does this work compare with the phone company's yellow pages? First of all, having the contact name can be a real boon. Also, readers interested in jobs in another city can check listings nationwide. On the down side, state listings are not subarranged by city. Thus, for example, to find the one service listed for Westminster, Maryland, one must scan the 219 entries under Maryland. A local phone book will provide a much more comprehensive list, under various headings beginning with the word Employment, as well as under the headings Career & Vocational Counseling, R{‚}esum{‚}e Service, and (for major cities) Executive Search Consultants. Again using the Westminster, Maryland comparison, there are 17 different employment services in the phone company's yellow pages, but the one listing from Job Hunter's Yellow Pages does not appear.
For the contact names alone, this work has some value. However, given the shortcomings noted above, it is a secondary purchase for libraries serving job hunters.
