For more than three decades, it remains 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 it has been translated into 20 languages. The 2009 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."

Besides, my purchase was delivered in fewer days than expected. Thanks, Amazon. Not insightful at all, unless you are completely clueless   October 30, 2009 Ivan 5 out of 5 found this review helpful When I got laid off from my job some time ago, I though I would pick this book up to sort of get me in the mood for job searching. I have since read it and found it to be a complete disappointment and a waste of time. I think that unless you know absolutely nothing about job searching, this book will provide zero insight. It is filled with extremely obvious and generalized advice such as use as many sources to search for jobs as possible, send a thank you note after the interview, tap into your network during job search, dont talk about salary first, pursue jobs you find interesting, write down on a piece of paper things that you are good at, etc - I think you get the idea. If the book's really self-evident counsel isn't enough, it managed to annoy even further with its self-help tone that makes it sound like The Secret. To reiterate, my recommendation is to stay away from this title and not waste your money as most of the advice is very obvious and could be very easily found through a general internet search. Setting the right mindset   September 26, 2009 H. S. Seow (Melbourne, Australia) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful This book has definitely given me insight on how the job market works. As a college graduate, it is definitely important to have a good overview of what to expect during the job-hunting process. Bolles' book has provided me with tools that will be useful in when searching for my career. Most importantly, it also puts me in the right mindset- not finding a job for the sake of finding a job but to dare go for what I am passionate about and believe that things will fall into place after that. A highly recommended book for job-hunters! Eye Opener!   September 17, 2009 Rebekah Clausing 0 out of 1 found this review helpful Essential tool for anyone out there looking for a job, or wanting to change careers. Such simple material, and yet so profound, making you say to yourself 'why didn't I think of that? duh!'. Buy it. Own it. You won't regret it! Excellent!!~   September 15, 2009 Riki (Singapore) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful What Color Is Your Parachute? 2009: A Practical Manual for Job-Hunters and Career-Changers Excellent guides for mid-career changers, or finding the right job during the hard times. It briefly explained to you, how, when and where you should start from, when you are in the midst of finding the right job which suits your interest.
