What Color Is Your Parachute? For Teens November 11, 2009

This is a great book for teens on how to select their first career. Packed with useful, actionable advice.

As a part time career coach, I have used this book with my high school and college age clients. The book is easy to follow with frequent use of web sites. I suggest visiting the web sites yourself, before assigning the task to the teenagers.
Excellent book for helping teens think about and plan for their future. December 14, 2008

As a career outreach coordinator for schools in four counties, I have found this book to be a tremendous resource. It helps students in the early stages of thinking through potential future careers by examining their interests and abilities. Although most teens will change their career interests (probably many times). There is great value in beginning this process early because when students give serious thought to future careers they begin to make the connection to the importance of their education. I believe this can help be a motivating factor for helping them apply themselves to their current school endeavors.

I read this book back in the 80's and found it very helpful. When my aged college daughter was questioning her major, I shipped her this book. I think it should be a "must read" for all high school students.
Great book for students or resource for couselors! July 19, 2007

This book uses Hollands theory of interests to help the teen discover what they want to do. The book helps prioritize interests and translate them into potential careers. This book is an excellent resource from self-discovery to building your resume to interviewing and negotiating an offer. This book is easy to read and understand and the information is useful and current. I highly recommend this book to any teen trying to determine their career path or any adult working with teens with plans to help them determine their career paths.
