There's a great book which answers your first question:

http://www.amazon.com/Dont-Send-Resume-Other-Contrarian/dp/0...

It's a good collection of advanced marketing techniques for job searchers.

Can't comment on the parachute book, but have read "Don't Send a Resume" which if memory serves has good advice on how to get an employer's attention.
