Publisher's Synopsis
What Hue Is Your Bungee Cord? is a take-off of Richard Bolles' What Color Is Your Parachute? Be careful in blindly following everything you hear from pseudo-experts. Before you leap, check out the hue of your bungee cord! Checking out the hue of your bungee cord assures that your job-searching strategies, tactics, and tools work correctly before you take the leap into your job-search adventure.
If I wanted to find out how a terrorist really feels, I would talk to a terrorist. I would not talk to a person with a PhD in terrorism. Analogously, if I wanted to find out how to secure a good job in the current, competitive job-searching environment, I would talk either to those who are successfully searching and receiving good offers or to those who have recently found and accepted good jobs. I certainly would not talk to a supposed job-search expert who has not searched for employment in years.
