I was a huge fan on **What Color is your Parachute** , but it is showing its age. I’m going to be doing some serious job hunting soon. Any recommendations? I feel like I’m on the verge of making a leap professionally, so books that addresss salary negotiation, presenting oneself professionally, and generally being taken seriously would be nice.

Thank!
