A Job Seeker's Guide to Life

The world's most popular job-search book is updated for 2017 to tailor its long-trusted guidance with up-to-the-minute information and advice for today's job-hunters and career-changers.

In today's challenging job-market, the time-tested advice of What Color Is Your Parachute? is needed more than ever. Recent grads facing a tough economic landscape, workers laid off mid-career, and people searching for an inspiring work-life change all look to career guru Richard N. Bolles for support, encouragement, and advice on which job-hunt strategies work--and which don't. This revised and updated edition combines classic elements like the famed Flower Exercise with updated tips on social media and search tactics.

I didn't read this book from start to finish. Rather, I picked and read sections as needed in my immediate life. Because I think of this book as a reference. You wouldn't read a reference book from start to finish and this book can't be read like that either.

Rather, I chose sections of it to practice and then came back and read a few more sections. That way, my mind could process the information and it would help me apply it to my life.
