What Color Is Your Parachute? 2008: A Practical Manual for Job-hunters and Career-Changers
by Richard Nelson Bolles
Customer Reviews (36): 
WHAT COLOR IS YOUR PARACHUTE? is still the best-selling job-hunting book in the world. A favorite of job hunters and career changers for more than three decades, it continues to be a mainstay on best-seller lists, from Amazon.com to Business Week to the New York Times, where it has spent more than six years, and has been translated into 12 languages. The 2008 edition is an even more useful book, with its updated, inspiring, and detailed plan for changing readers' lives. With new examples, instructions, and cautionary advice, PARACHUTE is, to quote Fortune magazine, "the gold standard of career guides."
A reader writes: I am currently between jobs, and use this book every day to plan my job search. It is literally like a shot of confidence in the arm. The book is full of great insights not just on the job search, but also on the entire psychology of it all. It has great websites you can use to do career tests and personality tests. The great thing about the book is that the author has so much experience, so is able to draw on those many years, to give advice. It is like having a high-paid careeer coach. I can't recommend this book enough.
Resume Post Services
Posting your personal data, preferences, resume and cover letter in the major job search engines takes some time and apart of this you doesn't cover the whole market. You might want to invest in a commercial Resume Distribution Provider and get your resume distributed to thousands of pre-selected hiring managers and placement companies that match your career profile.
Most trusted services are Executive Trumpet (US, Canada) and CVTrumpet (UK). You will only need to fill in just one form to have your CV distributed to 100's of recruiters, head-hunters and recruitment agencies. Before you start distributing your CV though, you must ensure that your CV is as good as it can possibly be for your job search. Check out our resume writing guide with free resume samples to get help.
Interesting: Executive Trumpet offers a free basic package where your resume is posted in several of the major job search engines.
