In the 2006 edition of his legendary job-hunting book, WHAT COLOR IS YOUR PARACHUTE? Richard Nelson Bolles offers hope and presents an inspiring and detailed plan for finding your place in this uncertain job market. WHAT COLOR IS YOUR PARACHUTE? has been the best-selling job-hunting book in the world for more three decades, in good times and bad, and it continues to be a fixture on best-seller lists, from Amazon.com to Business Week. It has well over eight million copies in print and has been translated into 12 languages around the world. With an extended preface that addresses job loss, vacancies, and outsourcing and updated references on how to use the Internet in your job-hunt throughout, the 2006 PARACHUTE addresses the top concerns of today ’s job-hunters. In the words of Fortune magazine: "Parachute remains the gold standard of! career guides." Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Mostly a waste of timeI'm at a complete loss to explain the appeal of this book.

The author explores what school failed to teach us about finding jobs and offers practical suggestions for the entire job search process all the way up to salary negotiation. Some of the advice the author gives is very different that what we have typically been taught and he backs his statements up with specific figures. This book offers suggestions to deal with change in the job market including choosing a new career or starting ... Read More Rating:  - good resourceA traditional and standard text for those considering job and career changes. A little dated,even though it is "updated" regularly. Lots of good reference information, though. Rating: - Want a Dream Job?If you want to land your dream job you MUST read this book. It will help you answer questions like: What kind of work will be the most rewarding? How should I begin the job search? What is the proper interview etiquette? And much more. This should be read by graduating college students looking for their first job and individuals looking for a career change. Rating: - Very good Job Search bookI think Richard Bolle's book is great on several levels. First, it asks the reader to think about him/herself in ways people often don't. The book has helped me think about myself more than I ever did before when it comes to my interests and the importance of connecting them to my work life. He also discusses the nature of the working world today and how many people still hold an unrealistic, outdated view of it which holds them back. Bolle's says it like it is. He also includes many insights into the ... Read More
