Amazon.com Review
For nearly 30 years, IWhat Color Is Your Parachute?/I has been the guiding light for those in pursuit of satisfying and fulfilling employment. This year's edition has been completely revised and rewritten and is designed to work in conjunction with the book's Web site. At the heart of Bolles's formula for finding the right job are two questions: What do you want to do? Where do you want to do it? Answer those and you're well on your way to finding the job you really want. Packed with time-tested advice, IWhat Color Is Your Parachute?/I works as a good companion for those just starting out in the "real world" as well as for those who are thinking seriously about a career change. i--Harry C. Edwards/i

Product Description
Yes, this is the best-selling job-hunting book in the world with more than 8 million sold, but this year's edition is not your father's "Parachute. The 2005 edition faces squarely the "workquake" that is shaking up the job market around the world and gives not only simple steps but also steady hope.

Some good exercises, but not always helpful May 18, 2008
In some parts a too religious perspective, but contains some ok exercises to help you identify your skills and wants, and gives your more insight into the complete picture of your ideal job. Book is mostly about job finding/applying/negotiating tips. Nice illustrations.

The book was shipped in a timely manner, however it was in horrible condition. At some point it must have been dropped in the water and the whole book is a mess. Not happy with this. The book was advertised as in good condition.

Create a compelling vision of the career you want October 28, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful

This book is short, but it will support you in generating a lot of valuable information about your values and a career tailored to fit you. Expect to invest about 20 hours in the self exploration exercises in this book. br /br /You get two products from doing this work:br /br /(1) A baseline self-assessment that you can keep for life and update as it suits your needs. br /br /(2) A compelling, pull-to vision of what you want from your career and life that will operate on you consciously and unconsciously to propel you towards getting exactly what you want.br /br /I used a version of this book in 1992 to create a vision of the career and life that I wanted. Then I put everything away and didn't look at the work I had done for ten years. br /br /In 2002, I looked at the exercises I had done in 1992. I got goosebumps! Without ever having looked at what I had written again, I had created what I had envisioned ten years previously. Amazing!br /br /As an executive search consultant, I talk daily with people who are in the process of reflecting on their career choices. Because of my own positive experience, this is my favorite print resource, hands down, to share with people who want to generate more self-awareness about their values and a vision of what they want from their careers.
