Rezensionen

"No one has been writing best-selling career-advice books longer than Richard Bolles." - Wall Street Journal , 9/15/11 " 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 ". . . 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 "Bolles knows what he's talking about: his practical job-hunting strategies are based on years of research, and best of all, they really work." - School Library Journal "Ideally, everyone should read What Color Is Your Parachute? in the tenth grade and again every year thereafter." - Fortune "There's Parachute , and then there's all the rest. . . . a life-changing book." - Career Planning and Adult Development Journal " Parachute is still a top seller and 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
