When What Color Is Your Parachute? was first published in 1970, it revolutionized the concept of job hunting. Unlike traditional guides to the job market, it helped job seekers understand themselves first, then find the jobs that fit, using a mix of good-humored advice and practical strategy. Richard N.

generations of job hunters facing changing times. By the time Richard passed away, it had become the bestselling job-hunting book in the world, with numerous awards and more than ten million copies published in twenty-two languages.
I have used his books throughout my own career; whether working in human resources at a department store, studying for my master s degree in rehabilitation counseling (where this book was required reading), or providing career counseling and coaching to a broad range of individuals through good and bad economic times. It was an honor to be asked to work on this edition and continue the important tradition of yearly revision.
Much of What Color Is Your Parachute? is written in the first person, so throughout this book you will see the word I. Sometimes it will refer to Richard Bolles; sometimes to me. Most of the time it doesn t matter. Where the ownership of the statement is significant, you ll see (RB) after statements attributable to Richard Bolles and (KB) after statements attributable to Katharine Brooks.
What I love about the Parachute system is the level playing field it provides for all job seekers in every employment sector. In Richard s writings, you see his timeless advice and wisdom in action. His compassion and respect for all workers. His emphasis on the importance of choosing your career and not letting the job market choose it for you. His encouragement to take the time to do a thorough self-evaluation before hitting the job market. And his belief in the importance of all careers, from pipe fitters to harp builders to doctors. With his usual aplomb, he deconstructed the holy grail of every job seeker: a job that fits your passions and fulfills your lif
