Richard Bolles - What Color Is Your Parachute?

If you call a phone number in the Sampler that is any distance geographically from you, and they tell you “this number cannot be completed as dialed,” the most likely explanation is that the area code was changed—maybe some time ago. Throughout the U.S. now, area codes are subdividing constantly, sometimes more than once during a short time span. (We ask counselors listed here to notify us when the area code changes, but some do and some don’t.) Anyway, call Information and check, or look up their phone number on the Web.

Of course, if you’re calling a local counselor, you won’t need the area code (unless you live in one of the metropolitan areas in the U.S. that requires ten-digit dialing).

* Throughout this Sampler, an asterisk before their name, in red, means they offer religious counseling as well as secular—that is, they’re not afraid to have you talk about God, if you’re looking for some help in finding your Mission in life through faith .
