Summary: Highly Recommended
Comment: Although information on the internet moves at the speed of light, leaving printed material somewhat dated after only a few weeks, I found the overall concepts, ideas, and suggestions to be be well worth the cost of the book. I have put many of them into practice and have found that the general response I am getting is valuable to me as a person seeking a career advancement, but can readily see the positive aspects going forward after I am employed.
Highly recommended to anyone who wants to succeed by using personal and professional networking.

Summary: A Most Timely & Practical How-To Book
Comment: "HOW TO FIND A JOB on LINKEDIN, FACEBOOK, TWITTER, MySPACE" is a tremendous book that is not only timely, but practical too because it shows you the nuts and bolts of each major social network of the title and how you can make the most of these networks to get a job. Today, social networking is big and keeps on growing. Here, the authors (Brad & Deb) take you by the hand to let you know about each network and how to make the most of it and potentially find a job. This book has ten chapters, and so I am blogging about this book on my website Great Documents Dot Net ([...]). I hope to share my ideas about each chapter with my blog readers so they can maximize their experience with this book. Kudos to Brad & Deb for a great book!
