Summary: The best I've read on online networking/job search!
Review: The maxim, "Knowledge is power," comes to mind after reading Rebecca Smith's book, Electronic Resumes and Online Networking (Career Press, 1999). This book is truly a wealth of information . . . with it, job seekers will be armed with the power to create content-driven Web resumes, negotiate the maze of the Internet, and connect with like-minded job seekers, as well as recruiters and employers. The author is a crack researcher and knows her topic inside and out. This book should be required reading for any job seeker who wants to know how to use the Internet to advance their career! Susan Whitcomb, author of Resume Magic (JIST Works, 1999)

Review: There just is nothing new in this book. None of the information is bad, mind you, it just a rehash of similar titles. It never goes beyond the obvious.
