Recent bearish behavior in the dot.com sector notwithstanding, Internet-related jobs are still a hot item. High-paying and on the cutting edge, they are the New Economy career par excellence. But how does one go about actually getting such a job? This book, by a veteran of the computer industry, is intended as a comprehensive guide to getting your foot in the door of the IT job market. And it does much more than just regurgitate the cliched "how to write your resume" formula that characterizes so many getting-a-job guides; it gives information on where the jobs on, who exactly is hiring and what they offer in the way of salary and perks. Actual job descriptions are also included, making it a good road map for anyone looking to discover just which IT job would be perfect for their particular set of job skills and career expectations. All in all a worthwhile book.

"E-commerce" — just the term is enough to make a New Economy enthusiast drool. And not just techies have been cashing in; even people with no Web experience can get into the Internet game. This is a book for people who want to get aboard but can’t tell a Website from a satellite. It’s a basic guide for the Internet-illiterate, giving instructions on Web terminology, properly tailoring your resume and applying non-tech experience — everything from law to editing — in your new high-tech career. And, just as importantly in this age of plummeting dot.com stocks, staying there once you’ve gotten in.

A humorous and fun read, the book’s instructions are to the point and clear. A good guide for anyone wishing to trade his or her old economy career in for a new one.
