"Parachute still
soars with practical advice. This book is a steady seller, always
making the USA Today annual list of top-selling books. No wonder:
Parachute is practical and trustworthy." --Jacqueline Blais, USA
Today
"Parachute remains the most complete career guide around. . .
. It covers all the ground less ambitious books do, as well as some
the others don't, mostly in the realm of the psyche." --Barbara
Presley Noble, New York Times
"What Color Is Your Parachute? has been the job-hunting
classic for decades. Bolles always goes beyond the routine,
including things like useful Internet sites and how to select a
career counselor. It's virtually always the best-selling career
book, and with good reason." --David Murphy, San Francisco
Chronicle
"Ideally, everyone should read What Color Is Your Parachute?
in the tenth grade and again every year thereafter." --Anne
