( )Offers a lot of positive, common sense approaches to new career opportunities. While outdated, this insightful book into searching for your next job or finding the career of your dreams was very interesting for me. A recommendation from my dad who used the same book when he was looking for a job, gave great points and ideas as to not only use the resources out there to find a job, but how to find out what your best and favorite skills are and how to apply them to a job. Of course, being this edition was written in 1996, it heavily frowns upon using the internet as a viable resource and also believes resumes aren’t always necessary. Well now, in 2009, those are two required aspects to every job search in my opinion. The books contains lots of examples, personal experiences, and activities you can use to become the best job hunter out there. Not a bad book. I would recommend the updated version over this one. Considering our economic hits right now, this books seems quite essential to many Americans. I read this book and much of it may come off as common sense when hunting for a job, but the author really does offer a plethora of options when pursuing jobs or careers. This book is a great guide when dealing with that treacherous job hunt that seems to annoy more than inspire us. I definitely recommend this book for anyone of any age of any field. It's that broad and that helpful. A very positive approach to finding that next job and more importantly a new career. no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0898159318, Paperback)For nearly 30 years, What Color Is Your Parachute? has been the guiding light for those in pursuit of satisfying and fulfilling employment. This year's edition has been completely revised and rewritten and is designed to work in conjunction with the book's Web site. At the heart of Bolles's formula for finding the right job are two questions: What do you want to do? Where do you want to do it? Answer those and you're well on your way to finding the job you really want. Packed with time-tested advice, What Color Is Your Parachute? works as a good companion for those just starting out in the "real world" as well as for those who are thinking seriously about a career change. --Harry C.
