If you are looking for a career change in 2015 you will find reading the book What Color Is Your Parachute is a one stop guide to success. The reason I chose this book is because at age 47, I finally received my Bachelor's Degree! What everyone needs to know in this new version of "What Color Is Your Parachute 2015," is that to get a job in this era and in the future, the way to go about it is clearly written by the author. Bolles gives in chapter two some great advice including the reason why you need to Google your name. "Since 2008, or even before, there's a new resume in town, and it's called Google." Everyone has a chance to join free social networks like LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest and others to create a great portfolio, business, reputation and resume. One big tip to do is research the job you are applying for! It helps to know about the company so that when the interview comes, you are prepared to answer questions about their organization.

I loved the flower diagram in the book as well as the many other templates where you can narrow down all that is needed to include in your personal profiles, portfolios, and the exercises that help you gain value to prospective employers. Chapter ten talks about making care changes with links and resources to help anyone make the transition. This is a great resource book to keep or give to a new graduate. I admire Boles for his great expertise in the 100 best nonfiction books according to Time Magazine. So how do you get a job in a market with a slow economy that is currently taking place? Getting advice from authors, websites, friends, family or articles is a great resource but it's better to reach only those companies that fit your ideal career. Most important, prepare your resume to fit the job, with a cover letter and references. On a personal note I created a Weebly resume for my security career and it's free! I wish to thank Blogging for Books for a free copy of this book in order to post an honest review.
