It continues to be the ... more »benchmark for all career counseling because of its original approach to the job hunt and career search process. While many books attain little or no value from being transferred to a new media, the opposite is true for this particular title. The author, Dick Bolles, has created a very comprehensive and detailed method by which job hunters and career changers can make a true assessment of their skills, knowledges and goals. It is a highly interactive process that requires a considerable amount of pen and paper work from the user. In much the same way that the software Turbo Tax makes the paperwork aspect of filling in tax forms easier, the clear electronic templates and exercises in the CD-ROM make doing the Parachute exercises easier. From a user's perspective the value in this is enormous. The author has claimed that the true value of his work lies in doing these exercises which are designed to help you create an illuminating inventory of your true skills and passions. It is the core of his work. Unfortunately, completing these exercises in the old paper based format has oftentimes been overlooked and neglected by the casual reader. To many, although they reaped rich rewards from the author's counsel, actually doing the exercises just seemed like too much work. The CD-ROM, however, does much to overcome this omission. Using video instruction and audio, the user is encouraged, counseled and guided though the complete program in a manner that ensures a far higher completion ratio. It is a perfect example of how technology can enhance and improve upon an already phenomenal teaching and learning experience. If you need to find a job, or want to define exactly what is best for you in terms of a fulfilling career, this program is a must buy.« less
