What Color Is Your Parachute 2018 by Richard N. Bolles copy

tie I look up in section B to find the little box that had both #2 and
#10 in it, to see which I preferred at that time, and I see it was #2, so
I give #2 an extra 1/2 point here, over #10.) Item #3 I notice got
circled three times, but so did item #4 and item #7—a three-way tie!
How to break that tie? Well, here you’ll just have to do some
guessing. I guessed these were important to me in this order: #4, #7,
and then #3. So, I added a half point to #4 and a quarter point to #7; I
left #3 as it was.
In the third and bottommost row of Section C, I put the ranking
according to the number of circles in the second row. Item #6 got the
most circles—9—so it is number 1 in ranking. Item #8 got the next
most circles—8—so it is number 2 in ranking. And so it goes, until
that whole bottom line is filled in. Now the only task remaining on
this Grid is to copy the reorganized list onto Section D.
Section D. The aim here is to relist my ten items (from Section A) in
the exact order of preference or priority, for me, using Section C as
my guide. Item #6 got the most circles there, and it ranked #1, so I
copy the words for item #6 in the number 1 position in Section D.
Item #8 ranked second, so I copy the words for item #8 into the
second spot in Section D. Etc. Etc. 2 What I am left with, now, in
Section D, is the ten items in the exact order of my preference and
priority. Nice! I can copy them all now—or at least the first five—
onto my Flower Diagram in the next chapter. I now know what
should be in the overlap between my dream job and the job I initially
find, if I am to be happy and effective in that job.
Where can you find blank copies of this Prioritizing Grid? Here are the
three main places:
• In this book. A ten-item paper version appears throughout the next
chapter. Plus, since some copy centers will not allow you to copy items out
of a book without permission, tell them you have my permission to copy or
reproduce that Grid as many times as you wish, for your own private use
(not for inclusion in an e-book or another published work).
• In a workbook. Its title is What Color Is Your Parachute? Job-
Hunter’s Workbook, Fourth Edition. A little over ten bucks online or at
bookstores; another paper version, but its advantage here is that the
