that makes you happy. What kind of job is ideal for you? If you don't know the answer, Bolles says, you can't find your ideal job. You need to have a clear picture in your mind 13) of the job you want. The book has many exercises to help you draw this picture. 4. Bolles says that you must think about three things: (1) YOUR SKILLS. What do you like to do? What do you do well? Are you good at talking to groups? Growing vegetables? Teaching? Drawing on the computer? 14) Bolles asks 15) you to think about all your skills, not only work skills. 16) For example, a mother of four children is probably good at managing people (children!). This woman may be a good manager. (2) JOB SETTING. Where do you like to work? Do you like to work outside? At home? In an office? Alone or with others? What kinds of people do you like to work with? (3) JOB REWARDS. How much money do you need? How much money do you want? What else do you want from a job? What makes you feel good about a job? 5. After Bolles helps you decide on your ideal job, he gives you specific advice on how to find that job. Bolles's exercises teach you how to find companies and how to introduce yourself. The chapter on job interviews is full of useful information and suggestions. For example, most people go to interviews asking themselves the question, How do I get 17) the company to hire me? Bolles thinks this is the wrong question. Instead, he wants 18) you to ask yourself, Do I want to work here or not? 6. Some people think that Bolles writes far too much 19) and repeats himself. True, his book could probably have 100 pages instead of 456. But his writing style makes the book very easy to read, and a reader doesn't have to read the parts that seem less important. 20) Other readers say that there is not enough space to write the answers to the exercises. But these are very small problems.
