      This book is republished every year in order to be consistent with the current economy, job market trends, and technology. I purchased the 2016 version last year and only read half of it, and also purchased the 2017 version this year in order to ensure that I had the most up-to-date version. Don't waste your money! There isn't much change from last year's version.

      As for the book itself, I found that it was a very helpful overall book for job hunters overall in the job market looking to brand themselves and branch into a new field or find a new way to look at the job market and launch themselves into a career. I didn't find that it was much helpful for me in the career industry that I am in - marketing/advertising, ironically. Most of it was pretty redundant for me.
    • 4/5
      A very positive approach to finding that next job and more importantly a new career.
    • 5/5
      This book literally changed my life.
    • 3/5
      great advice for how to approach picking a career. it makes sense to think about this stuff instead of falling into a career without thought. there's a lot of good reasons to read this at any age.
    • 4/5
      An intersting look at how to find the right career.
    • 3/5
      An enjoyable read even if it was was for work, not pleasure. This book would have been very handy many years ago and will be useful this year.
    • 4/5
      great book that helps you to clarify what are you all about when it comes to looking for a new job, with its help you will be clear about your strength and weaknesses, takes you from which direction you want to go that suits your personality to spesific strategies to get the job you need
    • 5/5
      Packed with extremely relevant information for job seekers. A must have for anyone who has to work for a living, so basically everyone who's not royalty or married rich.
    • 5/5
      Very effective tool for self assessment that assures an effective and efficient job hunt!
    • 5/5
      This book is the defacto job hunting book. While I haven't got a job yet, I can see what it teaches is sound. I am going to be following the steps over the next few weeks. Hopefully, it will work. :-) Stay tuned.Is this book just for those looking for a job? Absolutely not! I wish I would have read this book a couple years ago. Mr. Bolles has great advice for those who have jobs and know that someday they may have to look for a job. I can't imagine anyone today, other than the self-employed, who won't be in this situation eventually. Business doesn't offer lifetime employment anymore. Therefore, you better arm yourself and be prepared. If you wait until you need this book, you are too late. There are steps everyone should take as they work to make sure they can get the next job quickly. Who knows, you may even find a better job along the way. Save yourself the pain of being out of work.

      The Parachute book has been a standard work for many years now. I was managing a bookstore years ago when the first edition of the book hit the shelves. Over the years it has grown from a quirky curiosity to a standard in the industry. This particular edition now is twelve + years behind and I suspect that a newer version would offer some better insights and advice.
