The Color of Your Parachute REALLY Does Matter! Or Why What Color is Your Parachute 2016 Edition is for Everyone

As I write this review for the 2016 edition of What Color is Your Parachute by Richard N. Bolles, two things are immediate. First, I am embarrassed to admit I have never read/owned a copy of this book and Second, where might I be now career-wise if I had bothered to read this book X amount of years ago? Yes, it's that good.

What Color is Your Parachute?, 2016.

I wish colleges handed these annually updated guides out as required reading. There are so many helpful tips and insight to be gained from spending a few days reading this book and implementing the tools contained within. From the basics of where to look for a job, to how to successfully interview, to even delving deep and taking a personal inventory about yourself and what kind of career you are drawn to. This isn't your typical job hunting book that tells you how to craft a resume. This is the book that dispels the myth of the resume and why it's a mere stepping stone (and a low-rung one at that) to landing the job you want and need. This book not only is practical but reader-friendly and full of things even the most experienced job seeker may not be savvy to.

This book is honestly for everyone. College students will reap the benefits of using this guide to land their post-college job. Those currently seeking employment will get insight into the understanding of how companies hire and their hiring process. Even career changers will be about to find a helpful walk thru of navigating new career terrain.

Blogger note: I received this book from the Blogging for Books program in exchange for this review. This review is entirely based on my opinion and contains my honest evaluation.
