Review of "What Color Is Your Parachute?" by Richard N. Bolles

This book is very honest; it does not provide a shortcut to finding a job, but it truly gives you a reality check on the job-hunting process. It equips you with tools to consider before accepting offers. I have been working for eight years now, and before reading this book, my primary focus was finding a well-paying job. Unfortunately, 90% of the time, I found myself in unhealthy work environments because I had no clear blueprint for what I wanted—specifically, I just needed money. This book changed my perspective on what to look for when searching for a job.The author even compares job hunting to marriage, making a perfect analogy. The exercises provided, which encourage you to write down and brainstorm what you desire in a job, were quite daunting at first. It’s a bold move to say no or ask difficult questions when all you want is a job. However, this book has given me a different perspective on that area.I also appreciated how the author incorporated his views on drawing faith from God and using the job-hunting process as an opportunity for self-discovery. He emphasizes that finding a job you love should also involve finding a role that allows you to help others. I cherish the author's wisdom on kindness and love, and I will hold onto this book as it has awakened me, particularly in regard to the Christian perspective.
