What Color Is Your Parachute? Guide to Rethinking Resumes
by Richard N. Bolles
As a young professional looking to break into the education scene, I am more than comfortable in stating that I have spent an exorbitant amount of time drafting cover letters and resumes. Regardless of how much time I feel that I have spent attempting to polish my professional potential on paper, Richard N. Bolles took something that I thought I knew quite a bit about, my professional image, and overturned my entire understanding of how best to go about presenting myself to potential employers. Bolles covers everything from trending vocab terms that we should aim to incorporate (or not in some cases) in our self presentation, to buffering out our digital presence online via social media. What Color is Your Parachute? Guide to Rethinking Resumes is a phenomenal read for professionals in all stages of their careers, whether they are just getting into the game like myself, or a tenured veteran.
