Bolles tells it like it is out there on the Internet
Richard Nelson Bolles designed this guide to be used with his book; What Color Is Your Parachute? He gives a realistic picture of the pros and cons of job hunting on the Internet. He lists sites where you can find; 1) Job announcements; 2) Places to post your resume; 3) Information on organizations that interest you; and 4)People to connect and network with. Four years after the book is published, addresses are probably out of date. However, he reviewed the sites personally and has written a knowedgeable book about the actual experience of using the Internet.This review was adapted from Learning A Living; A Guide to Planning Your Career and Finding a Job for People with Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder, and Dyslexia by Dale S. Brown

Job hunting on the Internet
Comfortable book for the beginner. Doesn't hold out as much hope for the internet for a job hunting source as I do. (Perhaps due to the age of the book. I found my last two jobs via the internet. The book is easily read, and can give the beginning job hunter some great places to start. One hint for those beginning a job hunt. Hunt! Do Job Searches on each engine you use and submit your resume directly to the listed jobs. Don't wait for the recruiter to bring your resume up on line.
