Best job-hunting book!

This book has helped me in more ways than I thought it would. An employment specialist recommended it to me and I love it. It has helped me to look deeper inside myself to see what I really want to do for the rest of my life. Great resource! I highly recommend it.

No Wonder It's Remains the "Gold Standard."

This guide continues to be one of the best resources for job hunters everywhere, as well as those who are just considering a career change but haven't yet made the leap. Although it's been the "gold standard" for years, the updated 2008 edition contains even more information to both inspire and help job hunters with practical details. For those of us who have always struggled to find our niche in the job market, the book includes websites where you can take career and personality tests. Other structured exercises contained in the book, give the reader the opportunity to delve deeper in the process of self-evaluation--even calling on your intuitive side. It's not only designed to help you discover areas in which you are likely to excel, but those that you are likely to enjoy in the process, followed by practical steps to help you get there. I recommend this book to seekers of all ages and walks of life, from college students, to stay-at-home moms (or those reentering the workforce), and down the line for retirees who are looking for something to do on the side. The earlier edition helped me to make a new start, so I bought this one for my college age children only to find that it's been evolving ever since--no wonder it's withstood the test of time!

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."
