摘要
For career consultant Laurence Boldt everyone is the artist of his or her own life. In this potentially life-changing book, he offers the most innovative, unconventional -- and profoundly practical -- career guide since What Color is Your Parachute?In addition to more traditional material like assessing skills and writing a resume, there is a wealth of information not generally found in career guides, including how to start a business, work freelance, found a non-profit corporation -- and love what you are doing until you're doing what you love.

As the title suggests, writer Boldt's work is not a career guide in the conventional sense. He writes with passion and encourages readers to pursue a career more for enjoyment and spiritual fulfillment than for material rewards, and dispenses philosophical advice interlaced with quotations from experts and great thinkers. Only more than a third of the way through the volume do actual career interests or talents begin to be addressed, and only toward the end of the book does the practical material usually found in career guides (e.g., finding job leads, preparing for interviews, networking) appear. The third revised edition of this guide (first published in 1992) seems to be aimed more at readers who have extensive life or work experience than at students. It encourages the inventiveness necessary to become an entrepreneur or a freelancer or to start a nonprofit business--all unlikely activities for most newly minted graduates. The author's enthusiasm may inspire those tired of their current careers or already unemployed to think about what they would really like to do with their lives. Worksheets throughout the volume provide the opportunity for readers to jot down their goals and ideas. Chapter notes accompany the index, but the bibliography and Internet resources are provided on a Web site. Summing Up: Recommended. General audience. C. E. King Iowa State University
