Summary
Internet
Your Way To a New Job
Just a few
years ago, you could upload your
resume to one of the top jobs sites,
click a few times to apply for some
jobs, and consider your job search
well underway. Today, that isn’t
enough. The job market is becoming
increasingly competitive. Hiring
managers are overwhelmed with applications
and are looking at new and different
ways to recruit online. Hiring has
changed and so has job searching.
It’s more complicated than
it used to be and job seekers need
to be prepared to use all the online
job search tools to their advantage.
Online job searching often seems
like it can be a complicated endeavor.
It doesn’t have to be –
there are tips and tricks you can
use to make the process run smoothly
and simply. Alison Doyle will provide
you with everything you need to
know on how to build your career
and find a new job.
Goals
for the reader:
This book
will provide you what you need to
know and step you through the process
of online job searching, professional
branding, social and professional
networking, and career building
with uncomplicated advice, tips,
and techniques on how to effectively
find a new job and grow your career.
"This
is an important book and a must-read
for all job seekers who don't want
to be left behind yesterday's hill.
About.com job search guide Alison
Doyle unwraps the mysteries of Internet
job search, the transformative technology
that increasingly determines who
gets what job. Living in a super-competitive
job market, it's now crystal clear
that the decade-old strategy of
zipping-off-resumes-to-job boards-and-waiting-for-a-call
isn't working the way it once did.
In 'Internet Your Way to a New Job',
Alison rounds up and explains in
plain words all the new tools (which,
like Blackberry resumes, seem to
have been invented last week). Her
topics range from branding yourself
and smarter online networking, to
confidential job search and trendspotting
(what's likely to be invented next
week). Millenial or Boomer, trust
Alison to make understanding the
new tools easy for you."
Joyce Lain Kennedy, Syndicated
careers columnist and author of
'Job Interviews For Dummies, 3rd
Edition'
"It
is very timely and refreshing to
see Alison Doyle capture the true
power of career networking and the
urgent priority of developing an
online presence to prosper in today's
Internet-driven world! Her play-by-play
professional brand building techniques
and optimization tactics put success
within everyone's reach! With more
than 64 million active Facebook
users today and more than 17 million
professional LinkedIn profiles online,
it is not surprising that employers
are turning to these leading networks
as a top recruitment source, and
Alison has done a brilliant job
of not only identifying these 'must-use'
job seeker networks, but she has
provided the online tools to take
your career to the next level! This
is a supurb resource and practical
guide for every active or passive
job seeker!"
Julie Craft, VP, Simply Hired,
Adjunct Professor & Career Consultant
"Job
seekers are competing against thousands
of others who are taking full advantage
of the speed and efficiency of online
job searches. Alison Doyle clearly
explains the steps, resources and
tools necessary to land a job in
today’s workplace. This will
help anyone looking for a new job!"
Paul Forster, CEO, Indeed.com
"Alison
Doyle gets it. With the development
of new Web 2.0 tools, the rules
of job searching have dramatically
changed. Internet Your Way to a
New Job goes beyond just showing
you how to hunt for jobs. It shows
you how to be the hunted."
Rob McGovern, CEO of Jobfox and
author of Bring Your “A”
Game.

manage your career in this day and

Doyle's instructions are timely,
easy to follow and certainly provide
a great resource for today's job
