I am absolutely thrilled to have received so many positive reviews for my new book Internet Your Way to a New Job - How to Really Find a Job Online from leading career experts and job search site executives. It's both an affirmation of what I do and encouragement that I'm on the right path in my quest to help job seekers find jobs and build their career.
Here's a sampling of the positive words I have received about my book:
"It’s a great resource for any job searcher, but it is especially helpful for new grads who have never been through the process before... Despite the fact that we consider ourselves job search experts, we still learned a few things from Alison. Her advice on following up and what to do when you don’t get a reply from an employer is especially helpful. We also like that she uses real life examples to prove that her tips actually work in real life situations. Internet Your Way to a New Job is a worthwhile investment for any new college grad who is pursuing his or her job search online. Great job, Alison!"

About.com job search guide Alison Doyle unwraps the mysteries of Internet job search, the transformative technology that increasingly determines who gets what job. Living in a super-competitive job market, it's now crystal clear that the decade-old strategy of zipping-off-resumes-to-job boards-and-waiting-for-a-call isn't working the way it once did. In 'Internet Your Way to a New Job', Alison rounds up and explains in plain words all the new tools (which, like Blackberry resumes, seem to have been invented last week). Her topics range from branding yourself and smarter online networking, to confidential job search and trendspotting (what's likely to be invented next week). Millenial or Boomer, trust Alison to make understanding the new tools easy for you."

I was thrilled to read the review of my book 
Writing the last word of a book is always a bittersweet moment. There's relief that something that has consumed your life is done. There's a touch of sadness because you are done with something that you spent so much time on. Then I get hit with a bit of exhaustion and the thought that I have a little extra time on my hands. You hope the book is good. My readers say it is, and I hope they're right (I'm not a good judge of my own writing, I'm too close to it).
