What Color is Your Parachute 2008

Tuesday October 2, 2007
I had the honor, and the distinct pleasure, of talking with Richard Bolles, author of What Color is Your Parachute, about the 2008 edition of the book.

What Color is Your Parachute is the world's top selling job search and career book, has been a New York Times bestseller for six years running, and The Library of Congress' Center for the Book chose the book as one of the "25 Books That Have Shaped Readers' Lives" in 1995.

You might think that a book that has been around since 1970, on topics like job hunting and career changing that have evolved tremendously (especially since the Internet came along) might be dated. It's not, however, and the 2008 edition of What Color is Your Parachute is full of new suggestions, along with the classic advice that continues to hold true today.

Here's more on what you'll find, both classic and new, in the book, along with some job hunting and career changing tips and suggestions from Richard Bolles.
