Synopsis

"WHAT COLOR IS YOUR PARACHUTE? HOT AGAIN, 30 YEARS AFTER DEBUT." So ran the headline this past October in the Seattle Times. Actually, it has been "hot"-the best-selling job-hunting book in the world-year after year, for more than three decades now, so much so that it is referred to as "the job-hunters' bible." Each year it is updated, and sometimes vastly rewritten, by the author, giving first-time and veteran readers alike something new to discover. For those who have not read an updated version in recent years, this is a reminder of why, in the words of Fortune magazine, "PARACHUTE remains the gold standard of career guides."

Customer Rating for this product is 3 out of 5 Not for the editor's soul
Jessica, A reviewer, 07/28/2008

I admit, I haven't gotten completely through this book. I do think it has valuable information inside. I just can't get past the author's admission that the book is written on a sixth- to eighth-grade level. It absolutely drives me insane that he adds commas where they don't belong and splits sentences. I do agree that this is very, very important information for people of all ages, but really, who is thinking about their post-college careers in middle/junior high school? I certainly wasn't. I appreciate that he is 'playing' with his own writing, but please, play with proper grammar!
