Rating: 4.0/5 Stars

For nearly 30 years, What Color Is Your Parachute? has been the guiding light for those in pursuit of satisfying and fulfilling employment.

This year's edition has been completely revised and rewritten and is designed to work in conjunction with the book's Web site.

At the heart of Bolles's formula for finding the right job are two questions: What do you want to do? Where do you want to do it?

Answer those and you're well on your way to finding the job you really want. Packed with time-tested advice, What Color Is Your Parachute? works as a good companion for those just starting out in the "real world" as well as for those who are thinking seriously about a career change. --Harry C. Edwards--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Richard Nelson Bolles is acknowledged as "America's top career expert" by Modern Maturity magazine, "the one responsible for the renaissance of the career counseling profession in the United States over the past decade" by Money magazine, and "the most widely read and influential leader in the whole career planning field" by the U.S.

Law Placement Association.

Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on March 19, 1927, Richard grew up in Teaneck, New Jersey.

He served in the U.S. Navy and worked as a messenger on Wall Street before attending the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University (BS in physics).

Bolles also holds a master's degree in New Testament studies from the General Theological Seminary in New York City and has received two honorary doctorates.

In December, 1970, he self-published What Color is Your Parachute? using a local copy shop in downtown San Francisco.

The book had its first commercial edition published in November, 1972, by Ten Speed Press.
