	The Back Door Guide to Short-Term Job Adventures offers in-depth reviews of thousands of perennially unique internships, seasonal and summer jobs, overseas work, volunteer vacations and other extraordinary short-term job opportunities. Whether you're in student, a mid-career soul searcher, or planning an adventurous sabbatical, the Back Door Guide has something for everybody.
	What Color Is Your Parachute? Just the title of this book intrigues me. Revised and updated annually, Parachute (a word coined by the author when he was referring to career transitions back in the late 1960s) is about taking chances, gaining confidence, and making changes in your career and life. Complete with exercises on self-assessment and career planning, it is perhaps most valuable to those who are securely employed but unhappy with what they're doing. Richard Bolles has also crafted JobHuntersBible.com—the companion for his wit, words and wisdom, and lots of links.
	Artist's Communities details 97 residencies and retreats in the U.S. with descriptions of facilities, history, stipend and fees, selection process, odds of acceptance, special programs, admission deadlines, and contact information. In addition, contact information for 347 residency programs in the U.S. and abroad is provided. A must for those needing a creativity-stirring change of pace.
	Another short-term job adventure guide from a UK/European perspective. If you want the inside scoop on job hopping around the world while you travel, Work Your Way Around the World definitely has some nuggets of gold.
