Over 40 years, and still the best

"Ideally, everyone should read What Color Is Your Parachute? in the tenth grade and again every year thereafter."
Anne Fisher, Fortune

"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 guides 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
