2-0 out of 5 stars Looking back -- not looking forward (or around)
While it has several good points, this book, like the companion book "What Color is Your Parachute", suffers from a lack of understanding of how quickly things change on the Internet. This book (and the companion) still publishes the same tired source-of-hire data that has been around since about 2001. Up to 24% of jobs come from the NEWSPAPER? (That's a statistic from SHRM in 1997, back when Netscape still dominated the Web browser war.) Every reliable source I've read since 2005 indicates that jobs are sourced through newspapers at around 3-5%.

The author has numerous "best-picks" websites or articles that were published in 2002...while interesting, they were out of date. Blogs get a 1 paragraph mention, LinkedIn gets less than 1 page, and Facebook and Twitter aren't even considered (and their respective job-source potentials are all growing). For a book published in 2008, it seems like it was just a rehash of the Parachute book from 2001 with a few new websites added here-and-there to make it seem current.

Save your money. If you want to buy an online job search book, at least find one that is published in 2010 and doesn't rely on 10-year-old statistics.

5-0 out of 5 stars Richard Bolles Fan

When I first became a career counselor in 1978, Richard Bolles What Color is Your Parachute was my first purchase. He continues to be one of my favorite authors regarding career exploration and seeking employment. This book is loaded with practical and valuable information on these subjects. A must read for anyone seeking employment!!

5-0 out of 5 stars Job skills ONLINE
This book provides the means and reasoning and all the skills to look for work and career moves online. It iseasy to read and follow with access to testing and getting to your end goal. Either a job or a change of job and career excellent material.

5-0 out of 5 stars Good Source Of Information
"Job-Hunting Online" by Mark and Richard Bolles is a good source of information for the job seeker who wishes to use the internet as a source.

The book contains several different job sites, some well-known (Craigslist, etc.) and others not so well-known.Under each listing there is a brief description of what the user can expect to see at the particular web site.There are also other helpful web sites such as the ones that describe salary ranges for different occupations.

A good resource.Recommended.

Editorial Review

Product Description
This ringbound book provides a complete reproduction of a major federal document: the highly anticipated 2008 Plum Book, listing over 7,000 federal civil service jobs with the incoming Obama administration. The printed copy of this book currently sells for $38.00 from the GPO, so this edition provides a significant cost savings! This brand-new edition was just released in November 2008, after the election of Barack Obama.Every four years, just after the Presidential election, the United States Government Policy and Supporting Positions, commonly known as the Plum Book, is published, alternately, by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Following are the major categories of positions listed: Executive Schedule and salary-equivalent positions paid at the rates established for levels I through V of the Executive Schedule; Senior Executive Service (SES) General positions; Senior Foreign Service positions; Schedule C positions excepted from the competitive service by the President, or by the Director, Office of Personnel Management, because of the confidential or policy-determining nature of the position duties; and other positions at the GS 14 and above level excepted from the competitive civil service by law because of the confidential or policy-determining nature of the position duties.Additional information on the positions listed and the Federal salary schedules under which they are paid is provided in the appendices. Codes and acronyms used in the publication are listed. This publication contains data (as of September 1, 2008) over 7,000 Federal civil service leadership and support positions in the legislative and executive branches of the Federal Government that may be subject to noncompetitive appointment (e.g., positions such as agency heads and their immediate subordinates, policy executives and advisors, and aides who report to these officials). The duties of many such positions may involve advocacy of Administration policies and programs and the incumbents usually have a close and confidential working relationship with the agency head or other key officials.Our news and educational titles are privately compiled collections of official public domain U.S. government files and documents - they are not produced by the federal government. They are designed to provide a convenient user-friendly reference work and educational tool. ... Read more

7. How To Find Work With The Federal Government: Insider's Handbook ToGovernment Jobs!
by Richard Dean
Kindle Edition: Pages (2008-10-25)
list price: US$9.99
Asin: B001J6OTE2
Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan
Editorial Review

Product Description
There is no larger employer in the world than the United States Government. Positions are available on a near regular basis,

despite recent cutbacks. Not only are there opportunities domestically, but employment outside the United States is a possibility

on military bases, overseas embassies and various departments of defense and state agencies.

You will have to become familiar with a whole new employment language. This is the federal government, after all. A special

occupational classification system exists which determines pay and job grades.

There are four basic types of positions within the federal government:!
The Career Position: is the one to which most federal workers ultimately subscribe.
Career–Conditional: This position is of a probationary nature, lasting three years, after which you become eligible for a career

classification.
Term: These are positions filled for a finite period of time. Generally, an agency may be given a project or research study

lasting for a set period of time (one, two, three years, for example), after which a report is due.
Temporary: These positions are less than one year in length and do not carry any special privileges or benefits like health

insurance. However, work well done is generally remembered.

As you can see, these are stepping–stone types of positions. This is the way the federal government works. Within this structure

is a pre–programmed format within which one moves slowly up the ranks. There is little room for diversity and flexibility within

this framework, but there is a certain amount of stability and security the farther along you go. There is also the chance for

part–time work on either a temporary or term basis and that information would be listed along with the posting of the position

itself.

Making Contact
The controlling organization is the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). OPM fills the available federal positions with few

exceptions. They are the clearing house for applications to which they compare your qualifications with the listed positions. Or, if

your application is to be put on record only OPM reviews it with an eye towards agency suitability and places your name on a list

for further reference as positions come up.

When a job opening then becomes available, this list is consulted for potential names to be sent directly to the department looking

for workers. A number of factors are used in qualifying people and your success will depend as much on your experience as it will

on compensation available, number of people applying for the position; and number of openings. OPM’s lists do fill up and there

are times when they are so plentiful they take no further applications They then invite you to contact them at a later date.

Your best bet is to contact the Federal Job Information Center. You’re ready! You’re in the right frame of mind for this task, so

let’s make the call. You have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain. ... Read more
