The Internet has opened many doors for employment opportunities in recent years. Many Websites, job boards, and books have been produced to help people find the jobs they want and to help employers find the people they need. Electronic Resumes & Online Networking by Rebecca Smith is one book job hunters should seriously consider picking up. It will provide plenty of resume writing and job searching assistance.

Web resumes, one of the latest developments in job hunting, allows job seekers to have more control over the way they present themselves to prospective employers. They offer job seekers an excellent opportunity to create online portfolios of their work histories, professional accomplishments, art and photographic work, testimonials, and personal photographs. Web resumes, due to their unique nature, are very economical to create, maintain, and update on a regular basis. Plenty of ideas and examples are provided to get readers started right away!

The author includes literally hundreds of Websites, many of which allow readers to apply for work online, some according to their own industry. Other sites offer further assistance in finding employment, creating Websites, obtaining graphic images, and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best I've read on online networking/job search!, May 27, 1999

By A Customer

The maxim, "Knowledge is power," comes to mind after reading Rebecca Smith's book, Electronic Resumes and Online Networking (Career Press, 1999). This book is truly a wealth of information . . . with it, job seekers will be armed with the power to create content-driven Web resumes, negotiate the maze of the Internet, and connect with like-minded job seekers, as well as recruiters and employers. The author is a crack researcher and knows her topic inside and out. This book should be required reading for any job seeker who wants to know how to use the Internet to advance their career! Susan Whitcomb, author of Resume Magic (JIST Works, 1999)
