This review is from Richard N. Bolles's classic, What Color Is Your Parachute, a career guidebook. It focuses on modern job hunting strategies, emphasizing that traditional methods are ineffective in the post-2008 job market. The book advocates for a proactive, multifaceted approach, including networking, informational interviewing, and a thorough self-assessment. A key element is the "Flower Exercise," a self-inventory tool to identify transferable skills and career interests. Finally, it offers advice on salary negotiation, handling setbacks, and addressing potential employer biases.
