CAREER COACH: The “Job-Hunter’s Survival Guide” is a slim paperback manual of little more than 100 pages, chock-a-block with bullet points and tips, wrapped in a road-sign shade of yellow.
The author, Richard Nelson Bolles, 82, wrote the best-selling “What Color is Your Parachute?” guide to job searching ‚Äî now running at over 400 pages in the 2009 edition.
“There are a lot of people hanging on the ropes in the present, brutal economy that don’t have time to read a big book,” Bolles said. So he gave them a best-hits collection of advice, due out this month, culled from his 40 years of career guidance.
