- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5An intersting look at how to find the right career.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The 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.
