User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars This is a winner!
I just started reading this book and this is a book for 2009 when there are so many lay-offs and so many people are experiencing hopelessness regarding getting a job.
As always author Bolles knows how to inspire and at the same time provide a ton of useful information.
Even if you have a job, this is still a good book to get. Times being as uncertain as they are right now, it pays to always be ready for whatever!
4 Stars If you need this its great
Job Hunting is a touchy subject these days, we all need all the help we can get in this economy! If you are looking for a job and are unsure of the online platform for searching for employment this is a good book to help you get your feet warm. Depending on your demographics this book may be advanced for you or if your like me it was a little, not to be snobby, unnecessary. I like using http://www.Hound.com to look for jobs because it has jobs only from employer websites and far more jobs than you will find on other job boards.
5 Stars Good Source Of Information
“Job-Hunting Online” by Mark and Richard Bolles is a good source of information for the job seeker who wishes to use the internet as a source.
The book contains several different job sites, some well-known (Craigslist, etc.) and others not so well-known. Under each listing there is a brief description of what the user can expect to see at the particular web site. There are also other helpful web sites such as the ones that describe salary ranges for different occupations.
A good resource. Recommended.
