This is the title of the best book I have ever read about job hunting and career searching. Sounds like a book from the reading rainbow tv show…by the way that was one of my favorite shows when I was growing up. Anyways whats amazing about this book is that the author comes out with a new version of the book every year.
He has a companion work book to help you run through some excercises to help you find what you like, qualify for and are great at. He even has a companion website http://www.jobhuntersbible.com/ which by the way is one of the featured sites in our Resource page. I think you guys should take look at Richard Bolles site.It is full of advice, articles, links to job websites and much more. I believe it is an amazing read…
Read it! You wont regret it… here is a link to a previous version of the book as a can be found on googlebooks.

the work book can be found on Amazon : What Color Is Your Parachute Workbook: How to Create a Picture of Your Ideal Job or Next Career (Paperback)
