This review is from: What Color Is Your Parachute? 2005: A Practical Manual for Job-Hunters and Career-Changers (Hardcover)
I'm trying to imagine what might be in the 2007 edition that isn't in this one, and what comes to mind for me is that this book doesn't have any advice about not sabotaging your job hunt by saying things better left unsaid or showing things better left unseen on your MySpace page.
But the things in this book are very pertinent to people not just trying to find a job, but trying to find more meaningful work, work they can do with joy, work they can do where their deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet. It should be noted that this is a book that should not only be read, but should be done as well. It is full of exercises that help to identify the components of this more meaningful work, either as an employee or an entrepreneur. If you wish to get the maximum value out of this book, you must do the exercises. I hadn't really considered this, but on further review it seems kind of obvious. Bolles writes that sometimes, the only thing employers have to go on, as to whether a prospective employee will be a good employee, is the quality of their job search. How much do they know about the company and its work? Are they respecting the interviewer's time? Are they a job beggar or a solution to a problem? Maybe one way of summarizing this book is, if you want more meaningful work, you need to be a more meaningful person doing a more meaningful search. This book will show you how.
