Zusatztext “ Parachute remains the gold standard of career guides.” – Fortune magazine “’The Job-Hunter’s Survival Guide’ is slim . . . but there is nothing small about the book’s job-hunting tips.” —McClatchy-Tribune Information Services   “a quick and concise book. . . . And! at $9.99! it’s priced to sell.” —Sunday New York Times   “chock-a-block with bullet points and tips” / “a best-hits collection of advice...culled from his 40 years of career guidance.” —Tali Arbel! “Watercooler” Columnist! Associated Press   “Bolles’ short! sharp tome offers triage to those job seekers who may be either flummoxed with the economy or paralyzed by indecisiveness or lack of a clear path. ...his folksy! familiar style and presentation are an effective tonic for jittery nerves and chronic brain freeze.

When over ten million people have needed help with their job-hunt—or with figuring out what to do with their life—there is one person they have turned to! more than any other. He is Richard N. Bolles! author of the #1 job-hunting book of all time! What Color Is Your Parachute? His name is well-known around the world.
