Major disappointment 21 Oct 1999
By Jim Brule - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the first Amazon book I've ever returned, but I did so in a heartbeat. Despite the long list of online sites - as advertised - there was no useful information on preparing a resume for online submission, despite a whole "chapter" on the subject (6 pages, actually). There is not a single reference to the use of keywords in your resume, strategies for tailoring a resume for companies who insist on online / electronic submission, beyond the trivial "use an asterisk for a bullet"...

If you're only looking for sites to submit your resume to, I suppose this would be useful. But if you want guidance as to how to help your resume rise to the top of the electronic stack, this book is a waste of money.

Great Resource Book 19 Oct 2000
By Karen Girard - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
As Career Planning Host for bellaonline.com, I was interested to read this book as part of my research for my series on the online job search. What I discovered was that it was not a book to "read" as much as a wonderful resource which would reduce my internet research time by hours!

This is not a book of how to's - it has a few sections discussing career planning and eresumes, but refers you to websites for more information. You can find information on how to write eresumes and submit online on my site, or all over the internet.

What this book DOES have is links - separated by position type, state, even country. The legwork is done for you - and it allows you to target your job search to whatever industry or area you want - look up the lists of links for your target, and submit from there.

I note, however, that because of the dynamics of the internet, that resources like this can never stay current. Admittedly, since publication, some websites have merged or gone, but from my research, the majority of them were current and easy to find.

A valuable resource for targetting your job search.

A great resource! 18 July 2000
By "lolalu" - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This is NOT a book on cyber resumes---there are whole tomes devoted to that topic. It IS a comprehensively researched listing of sites from the common to the highly specialized. I use this as a text in my graduate class to train counselors who work in one-stop career centers and in college placement offices. It's a great resource for sites and ideas on how to best use the Internet for finding a job: clear, concise and free of hype. Highly recommended.
