Internet Your Way To a New Job (Third Edition): How to Really Find a Job Online Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

Using LinkedIn Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is for any small business owner who wants to tap into the power of LinkedIn. What I like about this book is that you walk away with real technology skills. Using LinkedIn by Patrice-Ann Rutledge tells me what I need to know about leveraging LinkedIn to the max. This is also one of the first books I've seen that has step-by-step video tutorials, web links and audio sidebar interviews with experts that you can download to create a customized learning experience. My favorite chapters for entrepreneurs are: Communicating with Your LinkedIn Network, Saving Time with LinkedIn Tools, Advertising on LinkedIn.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Alison Doyle has crafted a superb resource for readers who are considering a job or career change. She uses easy to understand language to guide job seekers/career changers through a successful process from self-assessment and career research through job acquisition. Having worked as a Career Services Director for almost 25 years, I found Alison's approach to be fundamentally sound and grounded in the best practices within the discipline. She integrates traditional strategies and resources with sound advice about tapping digital resources and fills the book with links to helpful websites. Alison's many years as a Career Service professional at the college level and as the Job Search Guide for About.com have clearly enabled her to communicate about this topic in a concrete way with lots of real world examples. I highly recommend this resource for those searching for the right job and career.
