Regarding search engine optimization as a career?

Which are the best books and other resources to get started in SEO(search engine optimization) as a career option and also is there a fair chance of getting a job as a fresher in this field?

There are a lot of places to get SEO information from. There are tons of conferences (i.e. SMX, Webmaster World) as well as online sites with tons of information. I recommend Aaron Wall’s Seobook.com, Rand Fishkin’s Seomoz.org, searchenginestrategies.com and wpromote.com/blog is where our company writes about tons of SEO and other Internet Related news.

Many companies will train you on SEO, you just have to be a quick learner and be web savvy.
