What Color Is Your Parachute? 2009: A Practical Manual for Job-Hunters and Career-Changers
Every year since 1975, career coach Bolles has been producing updated versions of his comprehensive guide for finding jobs. This 2009 edition takes stock of the shake-up in the worldwide job market in 2008 and the ways it has radically changed job hunting.
Millions more adults are now out of work, Bolles notes, and the competition for new jobs is historically fierce. But he cautions against giving up. With a proactive attitude and some up-to-date strategies, he says, job seekers can become gainfully employed.
Bolles identifies the kinds of jobs that are available now, the five best ways to hunt for a job, how long you should expect your job search to take, the first thing you should do if your job search is taking longer than expected, what to do if you cannot find any jobs in your field, and how you can stand out above the vast sea of other applicants.
