Bolles has done it again
(Seattle, WA) November 15, 2004 - 5.0/5 stars

I've been writing an internationally syndicated business advice column, Working Wounded, for nine years. "What Color Is Your Parachute?" has been head and shoulders above any other career book over the last decade.

But with this edition Richard has taken his efforts to a new level. I especially like job hunting tips for smarties.

That's the most remarkable part about the book, it works for both novice job hunters and the long term unemployed. Don't believe me? Chew on this. "What Color Is Your Parachute?" has averaged 20,000 books sold a month for the last 27 years!

No other career book comes close to the eight million copies of Parachute that have been sold. Finally, even if you have read Parachute in the past, remember each year Bolles substantially rewrites it. Although this book has the same title, the book substantially changes from year to year.

4.	Terrific. Just Plain Terrific.

	Bolles pulls no punches with this "the way it really is" look at the job world. It is right on with what it takes and where people are at in this world. (I know, I am one) I wish I would have picked it up 13 months ago. I problably would have a job by now! Thanks
