The What Color Is Your Parachute Workbook: A Practical Manual for Job Hunters and Career Changers

A guide to job hunting, revised to address today's weak economy, features chapters on the recession, the least and most effective job hunting techniques, avoiding depression, starting a business, interviews, salary negotiation, and more. Simultaneous.

For nearly 30 years, "What Color Is Your Parachute?" has been the guiding light for those in pursuit of satisfying and fulfilling employment. This year's edition has been completely revised and rewritten and is designed to work in conjunction with the book's Web site. At the heart of Bolles's formula for finding the right job are two questions: What do you want to do? Where do you want to do it? Answer those and you're well on your way to finding the job you really want. Packed with time-tested advice, "What Color Is Your Parachute?" works as a good companion for those just starting out in the "real world" as well as for those who are thinking seriously about a career change. --Harry C.
