What Color is Your Parachute?

2017 A Practical Manual For Job-Hunters and Career-Changers

I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review

I recently had the pleasure of reviewing What Color is Your Parachute? This book is the best-selling job-hunting book in the world. And this book is completely revised for 2017 and is a practical manual for job-hunters and career-changers. The author Richard Bolles presents the latest studies and perspectives on today's ever-changing job-market. I like how there is a version of his famed "Flower Exercise". This exercise helps to define who you are and what you want in your life and ideal job. This is a step by step manual that provides practical tips and helps you to write a impressive resume, cover letter, and network efficiently. This book will help you to interview with confidence and maybe even negotiate that well-deserved pay raise. There are featured proven strategies that are provided for finding a job even when there are none. The author shares in his book some advice that work and also advice on what doesn't work. His suggestions will drive some real results so rather if you are laid off or dreaming of a career change then I would suggest this guide to further pursue your dreams and fulfilling your dream job.
