Title: Job Searching Online for Dummies by Pam Dixon ISBN: 0-7645-0673-0 Publisher: For Dummies Pub. Date: 17 January, 2000 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $24.99 |

Summary: Great basic info.
Comment: When my father handed me this book, I rolled my eyes. As a "downsized" IT professional, I am intimately familiar with recruiters and online job systems, and fully expected this book to rehash what I already knew. It did.
However, it does contain information that is valuable for beginners. Most of the information is right on the money.
Compared to other online job searching books, this one has a lot of good information, so much so that it risks detracting you from your job search (ignore the information about taking the time to convert your resume into HTML and posting it on your own website).

Summary: Want the Job of your dreams, BUY THIS BOOK!
Comment: This book is so well written and helpful 1000 words would not suffice to tell all the good solid advice it includes. Im retiring from the Army, needless to say my job search strategies were 20 years out of date, UNTIL I read this book. Pam taught me how to write a solid resume for the internet, what sites to post it on, and how to respond to the inquiries I received as well as how to choose the best job from all the offers I would get. I followed the instructions and within 72 hours I was flooded with email on specific jobs in the field I was searching for. Hey, this book saved my life, I'm in Korea and having to conduct a job search from overseas is not something I was looking forward to. The book also contained stellar advice on how to prepare for job interviews, how to research a prospect employer, etc etc etc. AND came with a bonus CD. I checked this book out of the library after buying 2 books on the subject (which were nowhere near as good) but today I'm ordering "Job Searching Online for Dummies" to add to my private collection. Thanks Pam for writing such a helpful book.

Summary: A Must for Today's Job-hunters!
Comment: I spent 3 1/2 months job hunting with no success before I got an Internet connection. Now I have my connection and used this excellent book to get myself up to speed on online job searching. Little did I know how significantly the job search game has changed! This book got me up to speed in very short order. It tells you everything you need to know about "keyword" "Plain-text" and "scannable" resumes for use on the web. It also gives good advice on maintaining internet privacy, (how to avoid getting your identity stolen), which job databases to use and which to avoid, how to reformat your resume for resume databases...
I put my resume on one database, e-mailed a few text-only copies in response to online ads, and my telephone hasn't stopped ringing since! This method, fortunately or unfortunately, is the wave of the future.
There is a CD included in the book, but I found enough information within the book that I didn't need to use it.
