Summary

"What Color is your Parachute?" has been Ten Speed's best-selling book for nearly three decades, and it continues to be the job-hunter's bible -- even in times of a strong, robust economy, when conventional wisdom says "Job-hunting books don't sell". Parachute is a fixture on best-seller lists, from amazon.com to Business Week; has well over six million copies in print; and exists in ten languages around the world.

-- It discusses what has changed about the job market, and the new attitudes that are required in order to survive therein.
-- It aids career-changers, as well as job-hunters, and has a detailed step-by-ste
