What Color Is Your Parachute? Job-Hunter's Resource Center
There is a name for this moment in your life; in fact, there are several names.
It's called "going after your dream job."
It's called "getting out of the rat race."
It's called "making a career-change."
It's called "deciding to try something new."
It's called "setting out in a different direction."
It's called "following your dream."
It's called "finding your mission in life."
But what you call it doesn't really matter. It is instantly recognizable as that moment when you decide that this time you're not going to do just a traditional job-hunt or settle for another dead-end job; you're going to do a life-changing job-hunt or career-change: one that begins with YOU and what you want out of life.
"But I need to pay the bills," you say. Or, "I don't have the skills and experience." Or maybe, "I don't even know what my dream job is!" The information in this resource center is here to help. It is based on What Color Is Your Parachute?, the #1 best-selling career book of all time and the most complete guide for job seekers. Here you'll find links to practical exercises that help pinpoint your interests and abilities; articles based on facts and statistics to improve your job-hunting techniques; and video from author Richard Nelson Bolles specifically addressing job-hunting in these hard times and the importance of keeping hope alive. So, let's get started finding you that dream job!
