The document provides background information on finding an ideal job. It discusses Richard Bolles's job-hunting manual What Color Is Your Parachute? which advises job seekers to think about their skills, the job setting, and rewards they want from a job. It also recommends specific strategies like deciding what type of job and workplace is ideal rather than just answering ads. Two readings are presented, one about a woman who works as a matchmaker and enjoys interacting with people, and another that discusses skills, settings, and rewards relevant to different jobs.
