Book of the Month

What Color Is Your Parachute? 2005: A Practical Manual for Job-Hunters and Career-Changers

Richard Nelson Bolles

In the last four years, the United States has lost 2.3 million jobs-the most in any four-year period since Herbert Hoover and the Great Depression. Currently, millions of workers are unemployed both in the United States and worldwide and the problem isn't likely to abate anytime soon. In this book Richard Bolles presents a detailed plan for facing this societal problem head-on, declaring that we must each begin by mastering this new world for ourselves and then, once empowered, share our knowledge with others to empower the world. Either offers a completely new book for this uncertain job market, laying out a simple, step-by-step plan for finding meaningful work and mission despite our economy's jobless recovery.
