I have been an Office user since 1995, and this upgrade will not be coming my way. I have been using Office Pro for years, and for Microsoft to think an upgrade is worth $450 to $500 is beyond my comprehension. First off, you are not "buying" the whole program, you are only "upgrading" a few items that you might not even use within the program. I think this time Microsoft has created a problem that will further hurt their image plus their profit. Adobe has done the same thing with their CS4 suite. It will cost $500 to $700 to upgrade, which is actually more than the original program cost. There is no way software is worth this kind of pricing, and the main point is, no way can the average person or business afford to pay prices like this with an economy that has sucked all the money off the little people. My thought: Microsoft and Adobe listen, and get a life.. and to the person that complained that you are rating software, not pricing, get a life, if someone can't afford the software, it would never get rated.. Not everyone can just pull the money off a tree and buy whatever they need when an upgrade occurs..

I've been using this book on & off for 16 years and have recommended it to everyone that is facing a career change. There is no better book to guide you through the process of defining exactly what you want, where it is and how you're going to get the interview and the job. YES it requires work on your part - but if you end up in a job that you love and get paid a great salary, isn't it worth it? You have to know what you like -inside and out - to be able to recognize it when you're looking for work. If you don't know what it is, you'll keep stumbling around and probably remain frustrated and confused. Take some time and do it the right way - buy Parachute and get busy!

It did the grinding work with minimal effort on my part. I also like how easily it comes apart for cleaning and is easy to put back together.
