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

them anymore. But even among those who have, we can’t
automatically assume they’re good at what they do, no matter
how many questions we asked them. So we list them and leave
the research to you.
You must do your own sharp questioning before you decide to
go with anyone. If you don’t take time to research two or three
places, before choosing a counselor, you will deserve whatever
you get (or, more to the point, don’t get). So, please, do some
research.
The listings that follow are alphabetical within each state, with
counselors listed by their name in alphabetical order, according
to their last name.
Some offer group career counseling, some offer testing, some
offer access to job-banks, etc. Ask.
One final note: places and counselors listed here have said
they counsel anyone; 99% of them can absolutely be trusted, in
this. A few, however, may turn out to have restrictions unknown
to us (“we counsel only women,” or “we only deal with alumni,”
etc.). If that turns out to be the case, your time isn’t necessarily
wasted. They may be able to refer you to somebody helpful. So,
ask them, “Who else in the area can you tell me about, who
helps with job-searches, and are there any (among them) that
you think are particularly effective?” (Also, write us and let us
know about the limited counseling, so we can remove them from
this Sampler next year.)
Area Codes
If you call a phone number in the Sampler that is any distance
geographically from you, and they tell you “this number cannot
be completed as dialed,” the most likely explanation is that the
area code was changed—maybe some time ago. Throughout the
U.S. now, area codes are subdividing constantly, sometimes
more than once during a short time span. (We ask counselors
listed here to notify us when the area code changes, but some do
and some don’t.) Anyway, call Information and check, or look
up their phone number on the Web.
