Editorial Reviews

Review

“One of the first job-hunting books on the market. It is still arguably the best. And it is indisputably the most popular.”—Fast Company 

“What Color Is Your Parachute? is about job-hunting and career-changing, but it’s also about  figuring out who you are as a person and what you want out of life.”—Time 

“It remains the go-to guide for everyone from midlife-crisis boomers looking to change their careers to college students looking to start one.”—New York Post

“Ideally, everyone should read What Color Is Your Parachute? in the tenth grade and again every year thereafter.”—Fortune
