"What Color Is Your
Parachute? Manual for Job-Hunters and Career-Changers"
is the best-selling job-hunting book in the world. Twenty
thousand people buy the book each month, and there are more than 7
million copies in print. Recent reviews have called it "the job hunter's
Bible," "the Cadillac of job-search books," "the most complete career
guide around," and "the gold standard of career guides."
The 2001 edition has been rewritten. Why? The
author confirms "Well," said Bolles in a recent interview,
"I did it because I felt there had been enough changes in the landscape of
job-hunting, particularly with regard to the Internet, that I owed it to my
readers to give them the latest information possible.
