Product Description

Product Description
"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'.

5.0 out of 5 stars looking for a job or career change - you MUST read this, 12 April 2009
By Mr. G. Bridgeman-clarke "Graham Bridgeman-Clarke" (Rayleigh UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
I came across this book about 15 years ago by chance. I had just had a job interview which went well, so I thought, and I found this book on sale at Waterstones. I didn't get the job but I did buy the book and I read it from cover to cover and did all the exercises. At the end of the book after completing the exercises I had a real idea of the area I should be looking for a job in. At that time it was working in property for a University. By coincidence (or was it fate) that following weekend my local University advertised a job for Head of Property. I got it and the rest is history.

Its funny that you tend to believe that you have to follow jobs which you an society indicate are right. This book helps you to think freely, chuck out the bull, and find the job thats right for you.

Over the past 10 years I have bought the book for 4 unemployed friends and all have benefitted.

What can you lose by buying the book? Nothing but the cover price in my view.

5.0 out of 5 stars First aid for victims of the recession., 30 April 2009
This book is designed to restore your self-confidence and help you to understand what you are good at. It includes a detailed analytical procedure which helps you to decide what you want to do with your life, and how you should go about achieving your objective. The style is a bit American and over-emphatic at times, but it is packed with priceless nuggets of information such as "When negotiating salary, whoever mentions an actual figure first generally loses."

4.0 out of 5 stars my parachute is green for go!!, 11 Jun 2009
By Ian Cruise-Taylor (Shropshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
what colour is your parachute is a systematic approach to re-assessing yourself, and your potential in the job market. leaving aside the americanisms it takes you through all the common-sense thinking you need to do to remind yourself about your skills, abilities and interests so taht you can assemble or re-assemble your own profile and look at the job market through (your own!!) fresh eyes - with some optimism!
