Star-Jobs online HP Career Discovery Talk

There were a lot of Star-Jobs staff in bright green t-shirts ushering the guests and speakers. At the registration, each guests were given a box of small, cute little people in various colours (HP) and a bright red pen (Star-Jobs). The hall was like a GSC cinema with descending seats and a stage at the front. The talk started after 10am and in between that time, there were replays of Star-Jobs advertisements and talk show clips where only the talking host was animated with expressions while other hosts remained motionless facing the camera.

Star-Jobs Find the right shoes

I like the funny ad with “Finding the right shoes for you” where the construction worker was bored out of his mind clicking at the mouse (Secretary), the chef wondering how to paint and the nurse (?) pouting as she tried to paint the wall.

Richard Nelson Bolles – What Color Is Your Parachute?

The one that I rented was the outdated 2001 edition. It boasted to be The Best-Selling Job-Hunting Book in the World!

This book is revised every year with feedback from readers. Get this – it’s A Practical Manual for Job-Hunters & Career-Changers. He has a website JobHuntersBible which is to be used with the book because the book covers more. Aha. The book and website have insights from the employers, headhunters and job hunters.

The book is filled with drawings from old times publications like those from pictorial Jane Eyre, Oliver Twist. It has strips of modern comic and standalone drawings. There are 2 font colours – red and black. The updated versions have website links throughout the book.

There are 6 Chapters and I’m reading Chapter 2 now. Yeah :)

Chapter 1: A Hunting We Will Go is a curvy poem and a lady.

Chapter 2: Rejection Shock
