Summary: 5 Stars

No point in going into too much detail.

Well written and easy to read, it makes you take a good look at yourself before going out to dedicate yourself to a vocation that will take up 50% of your adult life.

Buy it if you are looking for a job or want to change career.

Summary of What Color Is Your Parachute? 2008: A Practical Manual for Job-hunters and Career-Changers

WHAT COLOR IS YOUR PARACHUTE? is still the best-selling job-hunting book in the world. A favorite of job hunters and career changers for more than three decades, it continues to be a mainstay on best-seller lists, from Amazon.com to Business Week to the New York Times, where it has spent more than six years, and has been translated into 12 languages. The 2008 edition is an even more useful book, with its updated, inspiring, and detailed plan for changing readers' lives. With new examples, instructions, and cautionary advice, PARACHUTE is, to quote Fortune magazine, "the gold standard of career guides."
