Customer Reviews

Great resource for what it is.

The Greater Philadelphia Jobbank 1999 has very specific strengths. It's main purpose is as a job-seeker friendly directory of Philadlephia employers. It lists all kinds of companies separated by industry and by size with short descriptions of them. It also gives a brief general overview of the health and trends of each industry in the Philadelphia area and provides an excellent starting point by providing information about headhunters, employment agencies and the like. This book succeeds in achieving those goals, and as such is a great tool for identifying companies to target in your job search. I highly recommend it especially for people relocating or relatively new to the Philadelphia area who are looking for white-collar work. Where it is lacking is that it also includes brief generic and only marginally useful job search advice such as writing resumes. Bottom line-I think this is an excellent tool to help you in your Philadelphia job search, but get another book to help you with your resume/interviewing and other job search techniques.
