Everyone Needs to Read Richard Nelson Bolles!

This is THE job hunters manual. In a world that has lost its common sense, this book is jammed packed with really GOOD advice - NOT HYPE, but REALITY!!! I recommend ALL of the "What Color is Your Parachute" books and feel that Richard Nelson Bolles has a gift. No person, job hunter or otherwise, should go without reading this book. It is even an interesting read when you are not job hunting. Take heart, you are not alone. Read the book and hopefully you will feel abled to take the advice. Richard Nelson Bolles presents some very, very, very strong arguments for his job hunting success tips.

The Job-Hunter's Survival Guide: How to Find a Rewarding Job Even When "There Are No Jobs"

This short 100-page book is actually very concise and thorough in its descriptions of the diametrically opposite behaviors of job-seekers and employers. While //The Job-Hunter's Survival Guide// is not filled with humorous anecdotes, it is a very well-thought-out and well-organized work with enough reason for hope built into it to keep the reader moving forward. Author Richard Bolles uses statistics deftly to present reasons to stay hopeful in this desperate economy, and he also demonstrates a multitude of ways in which the reader might improve their odds in the employment marketplace. As I know all too well, it's a full-time job looking for a full-time job, a point Bolles clearly makes in this //Survival Guide//. Bolles provides handy techniques for self-inventory, creating a plan of action, and looking for your dream job. Any reader who takes the time to practice these lessons will drastically improve their odds of finding employment and finding it soon. Another useful part of Bolles' work is that the book reveals the many job-hunting methods that are a waste of time while also showing us good and rarely-used methods for finding work. The book is summarized with a great truism to help us stay positive: "What you believe is going to happen can help determine what actually does happen." I highly recommend this book to all job-hunters facing these troubling and turbulent times. REviewed by John Cloutman

The Job-Hunter's Survival Guide

This is an excellent little book, perfect for these times! It has many practical hints and is very compassionate in nature. As a career counselor and career coach I learned about several useful web sites which I was not aware of. I enjoyed this book thoroughly. I would highly recommend it to every person, whether you are working or in career transition.

true guide

In less than 100 words [...], Dick Bolles (author of "What Color Is Your Parachute", more than 10 million copies sold) gives the most essential stuff gleaned from the 5 day workshop he holds in his home once every 3 months. Easy to read; lots of actionable tips; the key to getting a job is surprisingly hard work and "you"! I strongly recommend this to anyone in job-hunting business

Bolles Hits the Target

Richard Bolles, author of WHAT COLOR IS YOUR PARACHUTE?, the perennial best seller for over 30 years, has hit the target for job hunters in this dismal economy. This 100-page book provides a telling story of what to do to survive in this market and the most practical and wise advice available. His analysis of the 18 approaches to obtaining a job is frank and challenging. Using reliable statistics, he ranks the five worst approaches and the five best ones. But more, Bolles reminds the job-seeker not to simply look for the job he or she has already had, but rather to seek the dream job that is still available in the marketplace. It takes work but the rewards are brilliant. I highly recommend you follow this author's approaches. It will be the best money you've invested in yourself in a long time.
