For more than 25 years--in What Color Is Your Parachute? Richard Bolles has been advising people how to find the job of their dreams. Hartman proclaims, "Forget the parachute, take a jet!" and recommends making a career of job jumping. Offering personal testimony, she takes us through her own resumeof eight different jobs. In addition to tactics she picked up herself, she also discovered ideas during interviews with 50 executives who had gone through major career changes. Here she details 50 tactics on how to use job change to one's advantage, market job jumping positively to potential employers, cope with the effects of job change on one's personal life, and plan for the financial uncertainties that job changing can cause. Hartman acknowledges that in today's job market, change is not always a matter of choice but is often the result of corporate downsizing or restructuring, and she also identifies ways to anticipate that. Hartman's book will reassure those who might be worried that their first job choice has limited their possibilities or those who have been contemplating change. David Rouse
