I finally ordered my own copy of the current What Color Is Your Parachute? and looked through it, last night. It’s really an exciting book. I noted that the author has recommended many of the same sites I frequent, and there are many more that I didn’t know about.
He too makes a point of looking for not just any job, but one that inspires enthusiasm/passion. He suggested that this enthusiasm generates an energy that communicates itself to interviewers.
It also points out to me, again, that writing resumes and letters for others really is where I belong as far as a paying job. I have continued to enjoy it for nearly 26 years, now. I wouldn’t know how to choose between working with people on their job search work and my photographic art activities.
