Product Description:
"What Color is Your Parachute?" is still the best-selling job-hunting book in the world. A favorite of job hunters and career changers for more than three decades, it continues to be a mainstay on best-seller lists, from Amazon.com to "Business Week" to the "New York Times", where it has spent more than six years, and has been translated into 12 languages. The 2008 edition is an even more useful book, with its updated, inspiring, and detailed plan for changing readers' lives. With new examples, instructions, and cautionary advice, "Parachute" is, to quote "Fortune" magazine, 'the gold standard of career guides'.

This is a complete job seekers book that starts with "what do I really enjoy doing" to how to go after and get that job. Over 70% of jobs our found through networking. Bolles goes through how this is done, informational interviewing, interviewing and wage negotiations. I have updated and used this book for several job searches and buy it for friends that are seeking work.

This is, by far, the best guide for the job hunter. It is most useful for people who already know exactly what job they are looking for. As a guide to help you choose a career that will fit you perfectly it is not so good. I am a psychologist and career coach who has worked with hundreds of people seeking a no-compromise career. If you want both a successful and highly satisfying career, Parachute's primitive self-assessment tools will not get you very far in that direction. I highly recommend three other books:
The first is Do What You Are: Discover the Perfect Career for You Through the Secrets of Personality Type. This book has been around for a few years and is still the best book on personality type and work. Understanding your personality and what careers fit your personality type is an important part of making the best choice.
By far the most powerfully useful career design books are both by the man who created the field of career coaching back in the early ... Read More

Richard Nelson Bolles coined the phrase "Parachuting" as a way to describe bailing out of your current job in order to find the career you really want. He was so keen on sharing his insights that he self-published `What Color Is Your Parachute' for the first time in 1970.
The now bestseller is updated with current practical job search information each year and is a constant source of relevant career change advice. Amongst other useful tips, Bolles points us towards the most effective ways to search for jobs, how to approach prospective employers, and even how to find our own true calling.
So many of us know how it feels to be stuck in a dead end job with that dreaded feeling of entrapment. This book is the key to the escape hatch! And its many satisfied buyers are a longstanding testament to the fact.
This is one of the first places anyone should look to seek guidance on leaving an unsatisfying job in search of greener pastures.
