Parachute Wisdom
Richard Nelson Bolles' book What Color Is Your Parachute? has helped people find the right jobs for more than 40 years.
In the 40 years since it was first printed, Richard Nelson Bolles's What Color Is Your Parachute? has become the classic American text for anyone in the job market.
With more than four million copies sold, it continues to reassure, prod, goad and inform thousands of job seekers and career changers.
The book has a very simple overall message: "Know what you like doing best. Find out where you want to do it. Then go directly to the person who can hire you."
Through a series of illuminating exercises and an exhaustive list of resources, Bolles helps readers uncover their skills and decide where to use them.
The book is filled with practical tips like writing thank-you notes after every job-related interview or looking your best when you're out of work (you never know who you'll run in to).
What many Parachute readers don't know is that the author is a former Episcopal priest and was once a canon at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco before he himself made a sharp career change.
