 Overpriced little book April 26, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
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.

Great Book for Job Seekers March 21, 2008
I wish I had this book three months ago when I started my job search. Alison Doyle steps you through the process of finding a job online and makes it simple and straightforward, even for those of us who don't have internet expertise.
The advice in the book is also helpful for people who aren't necessarily looking for a job now, but want to make themselves marketable to prospective employers.

This text is written in an engaging, plain language style which covers the essentials in a concise and coherent manner. Alison has gone far beyond the traditional treatment of online resources by covering cutting edge topics like brand building on the net, online networking and protecting personal privacy.
