Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Resumes in Cyberspace is a very reassuring book that doesn't take for granted that you know your way around cyberspace or a job search, yet it doesn't condescend. Pat Criscito has written a resource that is packed with helpful ideas and information that is usually gained the hard way--by not doing things right in the first place, and losing an opportunity to someone who does. The author covers topics such as designing a scannable and fax-favorable resume, which companies accept resumes online and how to approach them, and how to use online job banks and resume repositories. An extremely valuable ally for your next job search. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Online Resumes Require Serious Offline Preparation!, June 13, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Resumes in Cyberspace: Your Complete Guide to a Computerized Job Search (Paperback)

There are a number of books on the market today that will help people write the "perfect" resume. There are fewer books on the market that will help you design resumes specifically for posting online. This is one of them. Pat Criscito offers a considerable amount of instruction on how to design resumes that can be easily posted and properly viewed online. There is more to preparing a resume for online use than may be apparent at first. This book leads the way!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, May 7, 2005
