    About What Color Is Your Parachute? Guide to Job-Hunting Online, Sixth Edition

    Before you start your Internet job-hunt, there are some things that you must know, like: 
      
    •   Why are job sites like Monster and CareerBuilder so stunningly ineffective?
    •   What can you do to make sure your resumes survive the elimination process?
    •   How do you find the information that search engines like Google can’t?
    •   How can you tell the difference between a genuinely helpful job board, and a website designed only to collect resumes?
    •   When are hobby forums more helpful than business networking sites?
    •   When is the Internet not helpful when job-hunting?
    •   What is the fatal flaw of all social networking sites?
