What Color Is Your Parachute?: A Practical Manual for Job-Hunters and Career-Changers FROM THE PUBLISHER
What Color Is Your Parachute? has been the best-selling job-hunting book in the world for more than 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 sold eight million copies and exists in twelve languages around the world. For those new to Parachute, and for those returning to the book after years on the job market, it's time to answer the questions of What, Where, and How that Bolles poses: What skills do you most love to use? Where -- in what field -- would you most love to use them? And How do you find such a job without depending on agencies and ads? Along the way, you'll learn about yourself, your unique gifts, and what you have to offer the world.
SYNOPSIS
"WHAT COLOR IS YOUR PARACHUTE? HOT AGAIN, 30 YEARS AFTER DEBUT." So ran the headline this past October in the Seattle Times. Actually, it has been "hot"-the best-selling job-hunting book in the world-year after year, for more than three decades now, so much so that it is referred to as "the job-hunters' bible." Each year it is updated, and sometimes vastly rewritten, by the author, giving first-time and veteran readers alike something new to discover. For those who have not read an updated version in recent years, this is a reminder of why, in the words of Fortune magazine, "PARACHUTE remains the gold standard of career guides."
