If you are currently looking for a job, you may be interested in the 2011 edition of What Color Is Your Parachute?: A Practical Manual for Job-Hunters and Career-Changers by Richard N. Bolles.

- What are the five best--and worst--ways to search for a job?
- What are the most helpful job sites on the Internet, out of the thousands that are out there?
- What interview questions can I expect to be asked, and how do I answer them?
- I want to use a resume. What should I include?
- I haven't a clue how to do salary negotiation. Help!
- There are no jobs out there, so I'm thinking of starting my own business. Where do I begin?
- Since I'm out of work, I'd like to use this opportunity to find more purpose and sense of mission in my next job. How do I do that?
- What are the ten biggest mistakes made during interviews?
