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

factors as the place or places where you would most like to live, your
preferred working conditions, people environments, values or goals in
life, level of responsibility, and salary.)
How do you find the name and title of such jobs, places that offer such
work, plus the name of the person-who-has-the-power-to-hire-you-forthe-job-you-want?
Principle #4: Search for What You Love, Not Just for What You Can
Do. It is not what skills you can do that matters most; it’s what skills you

Principle #8: Go After Small Companies (with 25, 50, or 100
Employees at Most). These are the best ones for a job-hunter or careerchanger
to approach, especially job-hunters with handicaps, or older jobhunters,
or returning vets.
Principle #9: In Approaching an Organization, Try to Avoid the HR
(Human Resources) Department, If They Have One. HR’s job is
primarily to eliminate job-hunters, so the boss only has to interview a few
