Customer Reviews

Helpful
This was a helpful book. It really details how to make a comprehensive resume. Also it educates on average salaries oft different kinds of jobs, and has other statistics. I've also found that http://www.EnvironmentalCrossing.com is a useful website for finding jobs. They only have jobs from employer websites, and they also have far more jobs than I have ever found on any other job search website.

Decent book, other resources more useful
My mom surprised me with this book, but I have to say that http://www.environmentalcrossing.com has been the best resource in my job search. They've got jobs geared towards what I'm looking for and it was so much easier than trying to sort through all the junk on other job search sites. Since all of the jobs are from actual employer websitse you don't get any of the scam jobs that seem to be the majority of other sites content!

Great book, very helpful
I was reading this book looking for jobs and it was good but what was really helpful was going to http://www.EnvironmentalCrossing.com. They have tons of jobs to look through, more than any job board I've previously looked at. EnvironmentalCrossing uses only jobs listed from employer websites so I have a better chance of getting a real job than most other places.
