Product Description
Product Description
The 40th Edition. This is not your father’s Parachute; and not your mother’s, either. They’d be astounded at the changes. This book keeps building--in insight, helpfulness, relevance, and urgency--through new invention and information each year. And this year it’s the critical resource to help Americans (and others) get back to work.
For forty years now job-hunters and career-changers have been turning to this, the world’s most popular job-hunting book, confident that each new annual edition will give them the most up-to-date information about the job-market and how to find meaningful work--even in the midst of challenging economic times such as these.
This year’s edition of What Color Is Your Parachute? has been vastly rewritten, because job-hunting has increasingly become a survival skill. Career expert Richard N. Bolles describes the five strategies most needed to survive, and explains how to incorporate social media tools such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter into your job-search.
The new ideas are wrapped around the familiar core message of Parachute: WHAT, WHERE, and HOW, with an emphasis on finding your passion and identifying your best transferable skills. With fresh insights into resumes, networking, interviewing, salary negotiation, and how to start your own business, this book will give you the tools, exercises, and motivation you need to find hope, land a job, and fulfill your purpose in life. In the words of Fortune magazine:
“Parachute remains the gold standard of career guides.”

You may already know a lot of this.,

This review is from: What Color Is Your Parachute? 2012: A Practical Manual for Job-Hunters and Career-Changers (Kindle Edition)
I have been out of work since October and decided to try this book having heard much about it down the years.I received some excellent Outplacement support from my employer prior to redundancy and as such the book did not cover much new ground for me. This book would best for someone with little knowledge of job hunting who is either planning a career move whilst in employment or has received no support whilst losing their job. Also a lot of the links to sites are American which is a little irritating.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Book, recommend,

I had bought this book in 2006 and gained a huge amount of skill and knowledge which will help forever. Bought the 2012 book for a friend and it has been updated perfectly for the changing times

Rubbish. Contains only obvious advice and no real info.,

This review is from: What Color Is Your Parachute? 2012: A Practical Manual for Job-Hunters and Career-Changers: 40th Anniversary Edition (Paperback)
I bought this book with fairly low expectations and was still very seriously disappointed. It contains no real information at all. Just very obvious things you already know such as... you can work full time, part time or job share (really wow I'd never have guessed) etc etc. Save your money and browse the web for advice and information.
