Definitely not for fresh graduates
(Austin, TX, USA) November 12, 2004 - 1.0/5 stars

One Star

Lucile, Mechanical Engineer
I am a fresh engineering graduate and trying to break into this new world of employment.

I did not realize that the job market is so different from what I expected and what it was when I entered school.

I got the new edition of the Parachute, and I am lost in it. I have a resume even from before and reading the book I am unable to see how to change it to make it get some traction.

All my buddies are giving different advice and I feel like I am spinning my wheels. Too much entropy! I do not recommend this book to fresh graduates.

May be better to stick to your counselor and network.

	This is more of a note to the publisher. I have heard about this book for years and decided to check it out here. Maybe it should be titled What Color is Your Parachute, Over-the-Hill Gray Haired White Guy? That was... read full review
