in your mind14) of the job you want. The book has many exercises to help you drawthis picture.

4. Bolles says that you must think about three things:(1) YOUR SKILLS. What do you like to do? What do you do well? Are you good attalking to groups? Growing vegetables? Teaching? Drawing on the computer?15) Bollesasks16) you to think about all your skills, not only “work skills.”17) For example, amother of four children is probably good at managing people (children!). This womanmay be a good manager.(2) JOB SETTING.18) Where do you like to work? Do you like to work outside? Athome? In an office? Alone or with others? What kinds of people do you like to workwith?(3) JOB REWARDS.19) How much money do you need? How much money do youwant? What else do you want from a job? What makes you feel good about a job?

5. After Bolles helps you decide on your ideal job, he gives you specific advice on howto find that job. Bolles's exercises teach you how to find companies and how tointroduce yourself. The chapter on job interviews is full of useful information andsuggestions. For example, most people go to interviews asking themselves the question,“How do I get20) the company to hire me?” Bolles thinks this is the wrong question.Instead, he wants21) you to ask yourself, “Do I want to work here or not?”

6. Some people think that Bolles writes far too much22) and repeats himself. True, hisbook could probably have 100 pages instead of 456. But his writing style makes thebook very easy to read, and a reader doesn't have to read the parts that seem lessimportant.23) Other readers say that there is not enough space to write the answers tothe exercises. But these are very small problems. What Color Is Your Parachute? is thebest job-hunting manual you can buy.24)
