5.0 out of 5 stars I got my job through Internet Jobs., May 9, 2000

By A Customer

Just joking. This book really does not list any jobs. Rather, it discusses some of the trends that are shaping the world of Internet jobs. The books suggests that in the next few years all jobs will be Inetrnet jobs. The best thing about the book is how it organizes jobs into three classifications: content, infrastructure, and business. Jobs in all three areas are changing and people who understand those changes are in a much better position to get the best jobs. This book helped me understand what to look for in a position.
