Reader Reviews
I purchased this book just in case I had to post an online resume. As it turned out, I was hired my a small company which hires the old fashioned way. . . through personal connections. Although more and more corporations are using the online format for recieving resumes and use software filtering systems to make the first cut, the fact remains that most jobs are created in businesses with twenty or fewer employees. And for these jobs, this book is not necessary.
