In the last five years, the United States has lost 2.6 million jobs-the most in any five-year period since the Great Depression. Currently, millions of workers are unemployed both in the United States and worldwide, and the problem isn't likely to abate anytime soon. In the 2005 edition of his legendary job-hunting book, What Color Is Your Parachute?, Richard Bolles more than anything offers hope. He presents an inspiring, thought-provoking, and detailed plan for finding your place in this new and uncertain job market. With an extended preface that addresses job loss, vacancies, and outsourcing; updated references throughout on how to use the Internet in your job-hunt; plus a brand-new chapter on relocating and finding a job, the 2005 Parachute covers the top concerns of today's job-hunters. What Color Is Your Parachute? has been the best-selling job-hunting book in the world for more than three decades, in good times and bad, and it continues to be a fixture on best-seller lists, from Amazon.com to Business Week. It has well over eight million copies in print; and exists in twelve languages around the world. In the words of Fortune magazine: "Parachute remains the gold standard of career guides." The Library of Congress named Parachute one of the "25 Books That Have Shaped Readers' Lives." For those new to Parachute, and for those returning to the book after years on the job market, it's time to answer the questions of What, Where, and How that Bolles poses: What skills do you most love to use? Where-in what field-would you most love to use them? And How do you find such a job without depending on agencies and ads? Along the way, you'll learn about yourself, your unique gifts, and what you have to offer the world.
