What Color is your Parachute?

World's best selling job-seekers hand-book

For 35 years now, What Color is Your Parachute has been the definitive job seeker’s Bible, passed down through several generations, and revised yearly to reflect the ever-changing career landscape.

So influential is the scope of this book, that in 1991 the Library of Congress included it in its list of the “25 Books that have Shaped Readers’ Lives,” ranked right up there with the Bible, Don Quixote, War and Peace and Catcher in the Rye! How has this book endured, withstanding the test of time and adjusting to the ever-changing job market?

With over 7 million copies in print since it was self-published by its author, Richard Bolles, in 1970, What Color is Your Parachute combines humor with practical advice and offbeat tips on finding a job and changing careers. Bolles’ basic strategy? Figure out what you like, what you want to do and what you’re good at and go after it. Contact organizations you’d like to work for, whether or not an opening for what you want to do exists, and let all your friends and family members know what you want to do.

In his book, Bolles dispels some popular myths, and lets readers in on the truth based on his exhaustive research through the years. One such example is the myth that the Internet is a good place to conduct a job search. In actuality, the internet offers only a 4% success rate when used as only means to find a new position.

This much can be said…in this era of unforeseen corporate downsizing and unanticipated layoffs, this is one book that should be on everyone’s shelves!

Dr. Bentz Asks some important questions of interest to La Crosse residents - Chiropractor La Crosse Dr. Bentz Asks...

Why are some people allergic to pollen and others aren't?
It's not the pollen. Chiropractors know that if it were, everyone would be allergic to pollen, nuts and pet dander. But that's not the case. It's the person, not the pollen! If you live in La Crosse and your stress levels are high, then each year the grass, the trees or the weeds put your nervous system over the top. Many report that chiropractic care helps reduce the frequency and severity of their allergic response.
Why are frequent visits advised when starting chiropractic care?
Consistent visits at the beginning of your chiropractic care help create the momentum necessary to correct and retrain unhealthy spinal patterns. Later, La Crosse patients find that continued care on a less frequent visit schedule can help preserve their progress and avoid a relapse.
